I have a second hand GT Peace 9r. It currently has a bolted on rear wheel. I would like to change it to QR.
Do I change the axle or saw it down?

NB rear QR is longer than FrontPosted 1 year ago # -
I don't think it's as easy as that...
It's 135mm spacing between the drop outs. The axle is nearly twenty mm on top of that at either end.
