Front axle replacement
I have a 2018 SE Beast Mode Ripper that is in need of a front axle; except I can't find one! I know that it needs to be a 3/8 inch solid threaded axle, and at least 145mm long for Sealed/cartridge bearing hubs. I also measured the distance between the outside of both bearings to be 78mm.
The website spec sheet only gives this info;
Alloy 36H Nutted Hubs, Sealed Rear, 110mm Front Hub & 142mm Rear Hub, w/ 42mm Double-Wall Disc Rims, 16T Cassette, Stainless Spokes
Can anyone help me find the right size axle for my bike? Thanks!

Well, the obvious answer is to take out the one you already have and measure it. But I know that's not the answer you hoped for but you have already offered potentially conflicting specs so why guess any longer?
If you have a common 3/8x26 axle with no bearing specific aspects then any bike shop can help. If the axle also has site specific seats/shoulders for the bearings then you pretty much have to get an OEM one and kind of measurements won't cut it for true comparisons.
