Gazelle Ultimate C380 Plus Front Axle size

[ever1ast15]

Hello all. I purchased a Gazelle Ultimate C380+ bike in 2021. I am looking to purchase some accessories for it and need to know the front Axle size. Does anyone know either what he size is or how to actually take the axle out? I see the quick release, but not sure how to fully take it out.

Thanks in advance!

It looks like your bike uses an SR Suntour Mobie 45 front fork with Q-Lock. Those use either a 15mm or 20mm front axle. To remove a Q-Lock axle, open the quick release handle all the way. Push on the aluminum barrel on the opposite end to free up the tapered nut, then pull the barrel back out as far as you can. Remove the axle by pulling on the quick release arm.

Court always included specs in his EBR reviews from that time period. 15mm thru axle.

Stomp described removing it pretty well - sometimes it binds and you have to push it back in then try again. When it does come out you'll wonder why it seemed difficult in the first place.

Thank you both for this. Much appreciated.
