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?

Does the axle have a hole through the middle?

i think it does.

Could you confirm if it does?

I can confirm the axle has a hole through the middle.

then place a qr through that hole and attach to your bike using that
NB rear QR is longer than Front

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.

if its a simple cup and cone setup u just need a rear qr axle and qr job done if its cartridge i may juat have to lop 20mm of each side of the axle but thats if thers not to much give with the qr though the axle.

Saw it!

Sawn off. £3 QR from LBS.

Job done.

Keep ye olde nut set-up. On my ss it means I can run it without a tensioner.
