Me again!
Started looking at building the Mega up tonight and seeing what I still need.
Well only just realised I don't have a rear axle!
Frame has 12mm bolt thru drop outs and my Mavics are also 12mm (currently running adapter for standard QR on my HT).
So will need to add one to my next order.
So are the thru axles frame or hub specific?

im not 100% on this answer but bolt thru and drop outs are 2 different things. its either thro or drop out. and i think thro axles are both frame and hub specific but theres adapters for 135mm or 145mm and 12mm and 15mm hubs................i think. confirmation is needed from someone who knows for sure

Okay, I'm guessing the rear hub spacing is 142x12? You'll just need to order a replacement 142x12 bolt for your Nukey. As long as the Mavics are the same spacing as the Nukey they'll be fine.

Axles will be hub specific, when I upped mine from QR to 10mm it was just the hub adapters an the through axle its self. In terms bolt throughs they mainly seem to be DT or RS/SRAM making them which ever you get just make sure you lube up the thread.

Spoke to the helpful chap at Nukeproof yesterday.
Apparently it's the SRAM/Rockshox one that I need.
