Greybeard Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I have a wheel with a Hope rear hub 15mm Thru axle that I would like to convert to take a Quick release system. Are there adapters that will enable this? What are the important criteria for this.

QR end caps are super easy to get hold of. You LBS might even have some in an old spares box or can order from International Trade. But I think pro2, pro2evo and pro4 all take the same end caps for the rear....

Jewbacca Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Thanks, you are quite right it is 12mm, Vernier problem. I will sout around.I have a set I would offer you but I need them for a little upgrade I'm doing on the mini velo. Which is why I reckon your LBS might have an old set lying around. I would also place a wanted ad in the classifieds. Like me, I'm sure there are people with a spares bin of unused/obsolete parts. Greybeard 1

CAAD4 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I just swapped a QR set for a 12mm set yesterday. As Jewbacca says, speak to your lbs and they can order from Custom Bikes, the local Hope agents. Greybeard 1
Chadvdw67 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Hey guys, are all these adapters the same? Found a set of thru axle wheels that will work well for a build I am busy with but my frame and fork are QR

MORNE Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Hey guys, are all these adapters the same? Found a set of thru axle wheels that will work well for a build I am busy with but my frame and fork are QRNope. Although mavic makes ones thar are supposedly close to universal. I think it’s more a case of they work on some other non mavic hubs too. https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/mavic-15mm-to-normal-qr-convertors/

If you bothered to read two posts up you’d understand lol. He was asking if the there was sych a thing as a universal converter kit. And as i also said....it probably wont work regardless ????

Chadvdw67 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Thanks, it is for a set of Fulcrum wheels, but no one is getting back to me on whether or not they can get adapters for them

Found a set of thru axle wheels that will work well for a build I am busy with but my frame and fork are QR You can buy something like this - worked for me just fine for a while (eventually I changed the hub to a Hope option, not related to the adapter performance) Amazon.com : Lixada MTB Bike QR Adapter 12mm to 9mm Thru Axle Hub Quick Release 100/135/142/148mm Mountain Bicycle Front Wheel Hub Adapter : Sports & Outdoors Edited February 8, 2021 by 100Tours Chadvdw67 1
