What are the different types of bike axle parts and how do they contribute to the overall performance of a bicycle?

There are mainly two types of bike axle parts: quick-release axles and thru-axles. Quick-release axles are easier to remove and install, making them convenient for quick wheel changes. Thru-axles provide more stiffness and stability, improving the bike's handling and overall performance. The choice of axle type can affect the bike's responsiveness, stability, and durability.
