Rohloff Support Bolt for Axle-plate OEM2 – M6, incl. nut + washer
The Rohloff Support Bolt for Axle-plate OEM2 (8560) is the M6 bolt with nut and washer that anchors the OEM2 axle plate of a SPEEDHUB 500/14 through the frame’s IS disc brake mount – the simplest OEM2 torque support.

Why the support bolt?
For OEM2 axle plates. The seat of the OEM2 axle plate hooks onto this bolt, which takes up the hub torque.
Simple fitting. The M6 × 16 bolt goes through the disc brake mount from the inside and is secured with washer and lock nut at 8 Nm.
Complete set. Bolt, nut and washer – the full fixing in one pack.

Alternatives
On IS2000 frames the OEM2 axle plate can also be anchored with the SPEEDBONE 8550. We can help you choose the right solution for your frame.
Who is it for?
- OEM2 SPEEDHUB owners. Replace a lost or damaged support bolt.
- Workshops. Genuine spare for hub fitting and frame swaps.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use any M6 bolt?
We recommend the genuine part: it carries the full torque of the hub, so strength and length matter.
Does it work on Postmount frames?
No. On Postmount frames Rohloff uses the PM axle plate with the PM Bone 8555.
