Commencal Meta Power TR Rear Axle: Keep the Complete Thread Record
Commencal Meta Power TR rear axle information for the Shimano platform includes more than a Boost label. The current technical record lists a Maxle-standard axle at 180 mm, M12 and P1.75, alongside a separate 148×12 mm rear hub entry. Preserve the full thread description rather than ordering from diameter alone. For the Commencal META POWER TR SHIMANO RACE BRUSHED Bike, verify the actual axle’s length and thread before ordering a replacement. An axle fitted by a previous owner may differ from the original record.
Commencal Meta Power TR rear axle versus hub spacing
The 148×12 mm entry describes the rear hub interface. The axle’s separately listed 180 mm length is not a second measurement of that hub spacing. Copy both headings with their values when speaking to a supplier. Calling the part simply a 148 mm axle would lose the distinction printed in the technical record.
M12 and P1.75 also describe different parts of the thread specification. A candidate sharing the diameter or length has not necessarily matched the pitch. Do not substitute a visually similar axle, or assume that a part sold for a different Commencal generation uses the same complete specification.
Keep the Shimano platform separate from newer UDH records
The current Shimano technical page states UDH hanger: No. By contrast, the separately documented nonpowered META V5 and SX V5 use a UDH-standard axle entry with a different pitch. Their familiar names do not make those axle records interchangeable with this older Shimano electric platform.
The archived 2022 RACE parts list identifies W19AXLEWHEELBOOST as the Maxle Boost-standard rear-wheel axle. That reference helps make an enquiry specific. A shared service reference in a historical family document still does not prove the identity, wear or suitability of the axle now fitted to an individual bicycle.
Confirm a replacement as a complete part
Give the supplier the frame identification, the documented length and thread information, and readable markings from the installed axle. Include any known rear-wheel or dropout changes. Ask for the actual compatible replacement rather than attempting to resolve a thread mismatch through extra force or improvised hardware.
The article provides a parts-identification record, not a removal or tightening procedure. Have the correct frame and component instructions applied to the work. The historical photograph remains platform context only: its pictured wheel does not establish a replacement-axle specification or confirm the condition of another bicycle’s threads.
The topic directory and family introduction distinguish the surrounding platforms. For this replacement question, retain the Shimano frame identity and the complete axle record together.
FAQ
Is 148 mm the axle’s listed overall length?
No. It is part of the hub-spacing entry; the axle is separately listed at 180 mm.
What pitch is printed for this Shimano platform?
The current technical record prints P1.75 with its M12 axle designation.
Can I copy an axle from a newer UDH META V5 record?
No. The Shimano platform has its own Maxle-standard entry and is listed without UDH.
