  "title": "Choosing a thru-axle trailer hitch by axle length",
  "question": "How should a shopper choose a thru-axle trailer hitch that matches the length of a bicycle's axle?",
  "answer": "Cybex Cycling Hitch: A bike with a thru axle needs the correct replacement CYBEX Thru Axle; its diameter, length and thread pitch must match. The replacement thru-axle threads must match the bicycle; mismatched threads are incompatible.\nCybex Zeno Thru Axle: Correct selection requires matching the existing bicycle axle’s diameter, length and thread pitch. CYBEX instructs buyers to print its measuring template at actual size on A4 paper, then compare thread pitch, length and diameter.\nTHULE thru axle Maxle (M12 x 1.75): Maxle part 20100799 fits a 167–192 mm axle range, has a 212 mm overall length and M12 x 1.75 thread pitch, and uses bolt installation. The video shows the 174/180 mm version supplied with the thru-axle, a 6 mm spacer, locknut and washer. This should not be assumed for the store-selected 167–192 mm bolt version.\nTHULE thru axle Shimano (M12 x 1.5): The listed M12 x 1.5 variants are 159 or 165 mm, 170 mm, 172 or 178 mm, 209 mm, and 229 mm. Correct fit depends on the original axle's brand, diameter, length, shape, and thread pitch.",
