Industry 9 Matchsticks – Next Level Axles
Industry 9 has taken a closer look at an overlooked bicycle component: the through axle. The aluminum 142.5 rear and 110 x 15 front axles use a 5mm fitting. You’ll find a 5mm Allen head driver attached to the lever, which isn’t only a lever.
The best part about using Matchsticks would be surprising your friends with your cleverly hidden secret weapon.

Hmm…I had been trying to increase unsprung weight and put tools where they can get damaged in rock gardens…

If tools inside your hubs are getting damaged in rock gardens you have other things to worry about.

Really? People are into this? Looks fiddly as hell. At some point I'd rather just throw a multi-tool in my pocket.

Any chance of a 20mm front version?

Take my money. And the chain tool looks better than the Specialized top cap one.

Are they compatible with all styles of 142×12 axels? Not all are created equal!

It's early yet Andrew. These were show samples. They will likely expand options based on demand.
