The Relaxle functions in exactly the same way as any other axle would but with a few extra features in case of wear, emergency or mounting options. 

There is only one way to tighten and loosen most axles. The Curve Relaxle gives you four different options, giving you peace of mind in remote areas in case one option is damaged.

The extra benefit of the Relaxle is the additional rack mount capabilities it allows within the body of the axle itself. The M5 threads inside the 6 mm allen key broach allow for light-duty racks or fenders to be bolted into the axle without the need for additional attachments.

Features:

6 mm allen key broach on both sides of the axle - just in case you round out one side
15 mm hex head for an additional tightening / loosening option - just in case you have destroyed both 6 mm removal options
M5 thread within the 6 mm allen key broach for attaching light-duty racks or fenders
