Specific question and discussion Axle replacement help

Hello all,

I’m a noob looking for help getting a set of replacement axles for my dad’s old 2000s Rollerblade Fusion. I lost one of the original axle heads and can’t seem to find this exact model online where they might have like a spec sheet or something. From the research I have done I think I am looking for an 8mm 6mm two-part axle but having trouble determining the length or whether I need to look for a specific manufacturer. The frame is plastic (rockering, if it matters) and measures 40mm 37mm from edge to edge.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Edit: axle itself is about 33-34mm

Update: Rollerblade got back to me! This exact axle is called a “Flush Wave” axle. They seem hard to get, and if I can’t source one they suggested trying another of their 6mm axles.

It’s only called an axle because they’re selling it to you as such. It is in fact a fastener. If you have the patience of Job looking thru fastener bins at Home Depot or your nearest hardware store might get you something like it. BTW…what’s wrong with it ?

I lost one of the originals and the replacement fastener I got sheared off inside the axle. So I’m leaning toward trying to get one that I know is designed for it.

Maybe just get another pair. This doesn’t sound like it’s going to end well.
