Recommended Posts

Hi Hubers,

 

Wonder if anybody ccan help me with the following:

 

I want to convert my bike to a thru-axle at the back - currently have a standard quick release setup....

 

1)  I know that I will need a thru axle hub at the back....does it need to be 9mm or 10mm - What is the standard size for a MTB at the back......?Confused

2) Is there any difference between the dropouts / frames that can accept a thru axle  and a standard quick release frame?

3)  Where can I get an aftermarket axle (9mm or 10mm)?  I guess CRC...

 

ThanxWink

I think you're going to have a problem with the dropouts on your existing QR frame.

Maybe hillbilly could shed some light on this subject?
