In this video I demonstrate how to use a SR Suntour quick release thru axle. These can be tricky if you have never used one, hopefully this video saves you the time and trouble of having to fight with this thing.

I can’t thank you enough. I have been messing with this problem for over an hour and I now realise that I didn’t have the slightest chance of working it out on my own !

Great description! Perfect for someone who had no idea whether they'd Put it back in correctly. I watched a lot of other videos first and I still wasn't sure if I'd done it right. After watching yours I was sure. You came at this issue like a rookie, and it really helped explain it to me.

Literally, this evening, I learnt how to remove them. Son had a puncture and i unturned the end off, c clip and a washer came off 😂 proceeded to rebuild it on the fly. Found the clip and washer (amazingly on the trail) so will sort that tomorrow. 😊

Shame I never found this before as I have done what you did & lost the circling.Grandson gave me his MTB as he has just passed his car test & I had never had a bike with this skewer before.Just got to now make sure I only adjust as you said the screw end by little increments. Every days a school day as they say. Greetings from UK.

Brilliant🥳 Still amazes me that the whole cycling industry is hell bent on producing ‘new’ ideas to overcome basic engineering including specialised tools for a specific product. Amazingly there all designed to be used with our hands, just like wrenches, spanner’s, sockets and screwdrivers etc. Quick release systems are a great idea if your not leaving your bike out in public.

When dirt or grease gets in, fails to operate or gets jammed. It's also difficult to actually see when properly locked and must then be done by feel. Just remove fiddly collet and replace with a single skewer nut.

Glad I found this video, though I was going mad 😂 got this type of thru axle on a Carrera fury but hoping its not damaged beyond removal

Mine seized up and I kept it greased. Went to check the inner tube & had to dismantle it & then drive the spindle tube out through the forks. One of the o-rings snapped as it came apart. Think I need a new one but they're £40 😲

Hey. Is there anyway you could tell me the measurements on the o-ring? I unscrewed mine and lost it

My loc is the same, but the emd where you twist for the open and close, black part moves with it all as one not in seperation. It doesn’t get any tighter to then close the lock upwards. ???

You don’t need lock it compressed on the install as the edges are chamfered for pushing it through Only on removal do you need lock it in the compressed position. Hope this helps

Extremely helpful 👍 Thank you. Just received my Giordano Intrepid yesterday. I was able to make it work but I was struggling. The little tag had minimal explanation. Your video covers this perfectly. Got it first try. The hint about the C-clip is helpful, I’ll order a few extra. We have nice trails here in and around Houston. Check them out if you get the chance. 👍😎

how does the fork perform up to this day? is there any issues you encountered while using this fork? and how's the thru-axle skewer look like? does it have rust and stuff?

Sorry for the late reply, no the fork still works great and the thru axle is still working good after figuring out how it works lol. No rust or anything yet, but I do tend to keep it clean.

ON THE LEVER END YOU WILL SEE A SMALL ALEN KEY HOLE ON THE QUICK RELEASE TURN IT IN A LITTLE BIT AND YOU ARE GOOD ONLY A FEW CLICKS AT A TIME YOU DO NOT WANT TO OVER TIGHTEN IT

Solution: you can simply replace this complicated collet with a regular M5 skewer nut.

Yup. And if you break a plastic piece you need to buy the entire assembly
