I need a 142mm and 100mm thru-axle for my Fuji Jari build. I'm floored by how expensive the ones I've seen seem to be. Can any of you recommend a specific make/model of 12mm thru-axle that would work for me that won't break the bank?
Are you sure that's a 142 x 100 thru axle need? Not 142 x12mm? what's your budget? i see plenty for $40 or under. Oh, i now see you listed 12mm at the end of your post.

epzamora,
I need a 12mm X 142mm for the rear as well as a 12mm x 100mm for the front. In hindsight I wasn't very clear on that. You're right that there are plenty of them sub $40 but that still seems surprisingly spendy compared to derailleurs and other more complex seeming items. Even the simplest Chinese non-quick release units run over $20.
Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet. on the build.

Thanks Bumblebee. Using the Robert site leads me to a $48 rear thru axle. I settled on a Shimano unit for $24 instead. Hopefully that will prove good enough.
