Hi Guys,
I'm looking at putting either a Extralite or Carbon Ti rear bolt 142 x12 on my Felt Edict FRD but I notice ce there is few different options for the axle/thread.
So my question is which one would I require for my new frame?
Also as anyone used either one of these on the rear and how have they been too

If you know your bike, Felt uses a X-12 style rear dropout. So the Extralite BlackLock 12.2 model should work, or the Carbon-Ti X-Lock X-12.

Although not one of your original choices, I use the Syntace X-12 and it's very solid and well made, makes the wheel feel really stable.

Shift Up, available from r2bike, could also be another, perhaps slightly cheaper option? I've been using 1 on my 150mm FS bike & its handled 3ft drops with no issues
