Stub Axle (Rear) is a spindle shaped, short, tapered and steel shaft. Its function is quite similar to the spindle on which the hub and wheel assembly rotates. Stub axle (rear) is attached to the suspension component, which is connected with a frame. Thus, the hub will mount directly onto the stub axle. It is a component with independent rear suspensions. Independent rear suspension means it allows the wheels to move independently of each other. Between the wheels, there is not even a continuous axle shaft.

Diameter of bicycle hub axle is quite small for stub axle. These axles are about 10 mm in diameter. Thus, for stub axle, diameter should be increased up to 12-mm.

Moreover, if the axle is longer, then it would be able to flex and would place more stress at the steering knuckle termination of axle. Carbon steel is used for the manufacturing of stub axles.
