width 135mm. I think you can use a regular qr hub (not sure) if you said you have an adaptor, try it.

im currently using an adapter but i wann use thru axle because the hub is not that centered with the qr, the wheel is tilted a little, just a little though, but still tilted, are you also using a bazooka?

Not anymore,but I was able to use one. I did not have problems with ordinary qr hubs using its adapter. I don't know if there is an available thru axle hub right now. Maybe you cud ask Egay of Endless (887-4624), his is using one. Or Ruben of Detour bikes (455-7355) he used one for awhile (too fast for him though).
Also you can try having somebody true your wheel to frame. Maybe it will work?
Bazooka is one of the fastest bike when you point it down the hill no matter what your level of riding is. And it is the most stable bike i was able to use (in the ground and in the air). It is one of my favorite bikes. Gud luck have fun with your bike!
Where did you able to buy yours?

Ok I think you looking for a 15mm thru axle diameter (you're asking for the diameter) and 135mm hub width. Measurements of rear hubs width are 135, 150 and 165 mm only. Your frame came out when 135mm hub width is the most common measurement. 150mm where then very rare. Except your axle diameter 15mm diameter for rear is very rare. Take off your adapter and measure its diameter, thats the size you need.
I think the frame came with 15mm thru axle as stock and your adapter was only an option. Except that the only available hubs we have here is the 9mm QR, that's why we use the option.
Also, i think it came with 10mm or 12mm adapter (not sure though). Or may be this is the reason why your wheel is a bit tilted you are using a 12mm adapter for 9mm QR. Kindly check? If so, you can look for 10mm or 12mm thru axle. 15mm rear thru axle are very hard to find.
I dont know if egay is a member of this forum, but some of his riders are. Just try calling him up I gave you his store number. Or try asking help from Ruben since you got it from him.
