105 5800 axle material
Have yet to tear into a 105 5800 hub and need to know if the axle is steel or aluminum. Anyone have info on this? Was able to find a schematic of the hub, and from the looks of it the axle could be either material.

My 6700 Ultegra are steel. I can’t imagine 105 to be aluminum

Speaking as a pundit wannabe: The 105-5800 hub I had in my parts bin has steel axles.
