Converting thru axle hub to QR

[Velocirapture]

I've purchased an American Classic wheelset, and have not been able to source the adaptor for the QR hub to convert it to a 15mm thru axle to run on my thru axle fork. 
Does anyone know if its possible to instead covert my thru axle fork to take a QR wheel?

This is what you need.  Not sure if you will find it locally though.  A friend of mine turned one for me on a lathe a few years ago:

I have one lying around if you want to buy it. 
 

pm me and I can send you some details.

It turns out I only have converter that converts to 9mm QR. 
 

Velicirapture is looking for the adapter converting to 15mm TA. 
 

It basically looks like a pipe.

I'm sure Cape Cycle systems should still have some in stock since they used to distribute the wheels.  Please post a picture of the front hub and I can find out if they have stock.

Oops, I totally mis-read that 🙈.  Not sure how to go from QR to 15mm Thru axle.  Probably depend on the specific hub and if parts is available to convert by means of endcaps etc.  I not, probably will need to get another hub unfortunately.

The AM Classic hubs swap out axels as easily as changing your brake pads.

Someone 'should' have one and an LBS which has been around for a while probably has a bunch in a box somewhere.

AC have been out of business for about 5 years, so parts are getting a bit scarce. That said, the wheelsets used to ship with 9mm and 15mm axles, so there are no doubt still a few knocking around. A wanted ad in the classifieds should sort you out pretty quickly.
