Fitting one to my rear Bontrager hub; are they generic, or do I need a specific one? Where's good to get one?
Cheers.

Thanks, will that one definitely work? It looks very short and fat and it's labelled for a different hub, so I'm a little sceptical; convince me?
Superstar Components do a reasonably priced 10mm QR - I'm using one and can't fault it
I don't know why it shouldn't work. Besides, the only cheaper option really is a threaded rod and washers and nuts.
to convert a hope pro 2 to the superstar axle you need anew axle and endcaps is that right?
It's for a single speed, so I don't want a 10mm QR I don't think. I do have one of those already, so I suppose I could try it and see.
I should probably take the hub to bits and see what's what.
Probably just as good if not better for the SS.
racing_ralph yep thats right.
one of these.

Because what you've linked to is an axle rather than the thing that goes through it. It depends on the hub, Bontrager used to use DT Swiss hubs rebranded, so depending on what it is, you may not be able to use a 10mm QR or bolt. Or one of the equivalent DT Swiss conversion kits might fit it - depends on which Bontrager wheel it is. Which wheel is it?
It's a formula hub not a DT Swiss on this set. They're Rythm Comps that I think came from a 2009 Trek Remedy.
I've dismantled most of the hub, but need an 18mm Cone spanner to complete I think. The axle is 10mm and it runs through 3 cartridge bearings at each hub flange and in the freehub thing.
The axle itself has atleast one internal flange that sits up against the inside of the cartridge bearing. I need to get the axle all the way out to see if there are two flanges.
What happens if I were to replace the flanged axle with a straight axle? What is the purpose of the flanges? When the bearings are installed, are they installed to a position in the hub, or the axle?
Thanks.
Bump?
