Thru Axle Thread Issue
I'm building up a boost spaced mtb. I have a DT Swiss 12x148 thru axle for the rear wheel. It won't screw into the derailleur hanger threads so I assume the thread pitches are different. What do I need to know about this? Thanks!

What frame is it? as this will define the thread needed/brand/model needed on the axle for your frame, and why can't you use the axle that came with the bike, at least you will know that this fits?

There are three possible thread pitches for a 12mm rear thru axle. 12 x 1, 12 x 1.5 and 12 x 1.75. There are also varying lengths based on what standard the frame manufacturer used. All "boost" frames do not take the same length axle.

At least, that's the way it works for non-boost frames. Maybe the industry did a better job of standardization with boost, but I doubt it.
