Doh....I damaged the rear axle on my e-sommet 2020 and need to find a replacement.

It looks suspiciously like a Brand - X axle - trouble is although they show a 174mm - M12x1.5 version..... I cant find one.

Alternatively, who stocks Vitus spares in the UK?

In case it helps anyone else - i got a reply from CRC regarding sourcing a spare axle for the e-sommet. They cant get the original part but identified a Shimano part that will fit (quick release lever rather than the original stealth style fitment)

Whilst i'm worried that i cant get the original part for a 2020 bike, i appreciate CRC's efforts to find me a part that'll fit.

As an aside - the original part looks identical design and markings to the "Brand-X" parts that CRC sell

Brand X's boost (148mmx12) thru axle with the same thread pitch fits The ESommet fine.
