A chromoly axle would be preferred - brand is relatively unimportant. If the rear wheel slides evenly into the dropouts with no space on either side just measure the distance between the outside of the dropouts and subtract about 2 mm. IF you can't find the right length buy longer and it can be cut to size, but needs to be done carefully so that when one is through it is the correct length and parts can be easily threaded on.
