i know it's not a standard axle. that's why i'm asking instead of grabbing a regular front QR axle. i don't need someone to re-iterate my question, i just need a knowledgeable user to hopefully share their experience and point me in the right direction.

all you've done is sidetrack the conversation. sorry for being harsh about it, but i'm looking for knowledge, not "ooh me too" responses.

thanks though.
