Axle diameter? DT SWISS Hub rear 350 Big Ride

[mittkonto]

Hi!

Need to make a 12 mm axle for a rear 197mm DT SWISS Hub 350 Big Ride hub, (axle with nuts)

What diameter and length (smooth 197mm?) should the axle be?
12mm precisely or should I make it 12,1mm etc?

Thanks in advance!

I would have thought 12mm means 12mm

Just buy an m12 bolt with a nut, that is what I have. The space between the two dropouts is 197mm, add 10mm for each dropout hole and 20mm to secure the nut.

Yes but you can have a bolt with a head on one side so you would only need 1 thread.

You can measure your dropout thickness to be sure about the 10mm but I would rather have too much thread than too little. I have a steel bike (100kg incl. me) and steel axle, the thread rests on my dropout on one side and has caused no harm so far.
