RockShox Replacement thru Axle

    All,

    In a spot of bother with my front thru axle. The quick release had been giving a bit of bother not tightening some times and as a result hanging loose. No big deal as the axle threads to the fork on the other side so I just kept an eye on it when out for a spin. Long story short the quick release disappeared on my last spin out, and at the end of my ride had to wrestle a muddy bike into my car (it barely fit) :o . I'm having trouble finding the correct axle I need. Went to my local bike shop and weren't able to help and are normally very good.
    Is there anyone that could give me some advice ?

    Its a RockShox Recon Silver RL 27.5" fork, Front Hub Novatec D811, 100mm x 15mm and the axel is 158mm long, 15mm dia and 11mm long thread but unsure of the pitch.

    Any help greatly appreciated, I dont feel like cycling around with an adjustable spanner in my pack :D

    Its a good site, have got a few bits from them now. Only downside is their delievery takes a bit longer than chain reactions.

    Handy to know they sell rebuild kits too. Delivery is a minor inconvenience but can't complain as it'll be a direct replacement and the weather is crap for the next week
