The La Casa Rear wheel can now easily be converted from the stock 14mm axle to a female axle. You will save some weight by going with the female axle kit as it’s a 14mm hollow heat treated chromoly axle that’s threaded for female 3/8 inch x 24tpi bolts. The female bolts have a hex head that can be tightened with the use of a 17mm socket, or a 6mm Allen Key. The female axle kit also looks clean and keeps the axle snug against the dropout. Note: This is the Female axle kit for the standard male La Casa Axle #1- Sealed – 14mm, and is still designed for 14mm dropouts.
