DFS Carbon Thru Axle

The reviewer discusses the DFS Carbon Thru Axle, noting it as a legitimate carbon through axle upgrade. They mention that while the initial quality appears rough with pitting and gaps, the axles have performed faultlessly over 500-600 km of riding. They highlight the modular head system as a key feature, allowing compatibility with different bike standards. The reviewer also notes the weight is significantly lower than aluminum axles (25g for the pair vs 66g for the pair they replaced), but the price is not a massive bargain. They express concerns about the glued hex insert potentially failing over time.
