Boutique component manufacturer Paul Components has released the Set N’ Forget thru-axle in a wide range of sizes to fit nearly every mountain bike axle standard — including fat bikes.

The Set N’ Forget lever can be indexed much like the RockShox Maxle Lite. Once the user sets the angle, the lever will always close at the desired position.

To clock the lever, the user pushes down on the head and rotates it into one of 12 indexed positions.

The Set N’ Forget is available now and retails for $68 / £55 / AU$90.
