Gorbachza Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I am in the process of upgrading my MTB, and the next part I am buying is a new front shock. I would like to know if a 15mm through axle will work with my standard hubs or do I need to upgrade/change it. I know the standard skewer is like 5mm so obviously something would have to change. Any advise would be appreciated.
splat Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 What is your current hub? XT/XTR has a specific QR15 hub, while Chris King, Hope and I9 (among others) are convertable.
Gorbachza Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 oh goodness no... I don't know what make it is but it is not XT/XTR.
brussel Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 some hubs can be modified - many of the sealed bearing units are pretty well modifiable.
Gorbachza Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 well I replaced my cassette last night and saw that it does not have sealed bearings. I see new Hubs in my future...
