Eugene Posted November 11, 2013 Share Are adaptors available so that a wheel with a15mm thru axle can be used on a normal quick release fork. If they are, are they standard or are they brand (wheel) specific I phoned a bike shop and they said they are not available, but I'm not too sure.

Almost every brand these days has a adaptor/convertor kit. Get a new LBS :-) Google it. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromp Posted November 11, 2013 Share Wayne from Chris Willemse had me sorted with Easton rims that I sourced from them . About R850 later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted November 11, 2013 Share Thanks for the responses. It was for a set of wheels I wanted. But it looks as if it will be cheaper to buy quick release wheels online than having to cough up for an adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Get the QR15 compatible wheels, that way if you do get a new fork you won't need a new front wheel as well. What hubs do they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 9mm QR fork and 15mm Hope Pro II Hubs. http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=286 Works like a charm and cheap as chips.. They sell direct.

Eugene Posted November 11, 2013 Share It is for a set of Giant wheels. Not sure what hubs they use. I have a feeling that they use rebranded DT Swiss. Not sure though. The wheels are R2000. A similar quality Shimano set were R1 900 including import VAT and postage from an online shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
