you need to replace the axle on your 2009 specialized? would you replace the axle on your 2009 taurus? if you bike is new or newish (under a year old) assuming you are the orginal owner take it back to the shop where you bought it. don't they provide service? didn't you get a warranty on the components? there is also the possibility that this is known problem with the bike
