Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that the thread diameter on the axle of one of my front wheels is slightly smaller than the other, and it doesn’t fully reach or sit properly in the fork dropout.
Is this difference in axle thread diameter critical for safety?
Should both wheels have the exact same axle dimensions to ensure a secure fit in the fork?
I’d appreciate any insight or advice before I ride with it. Thanks!

Can you measure it?
They should be both 15mm in diameter
It’s not a problem, all the force is taken up by friction with the outermost faces of the end caps.
