MH,

Sorry, I missed your second post. I ordered a fancy Wheels Mfg axle. Their list price was 20.90, and some yahoo in my native Wisconsin offered the thing for 20.89. This guy's ebay name is "affordable parts sales". I thought that the 1 cent discount was an amusing way for them to be "affordable"!

This was way more expensive than some of the eBay offerings and your offering. At the same time, the bend in the current axle is pretty slight so I'm kind of engineering overoptimizing.

I rebuilt the wheels on the Superior. I'm gonna report the results in the thread on that topic. Bottom line: rides great. Really comfortable.

Jim
