I have a spare front wheel with a 15mm maxle light axle, I'm building a bike from various bits and pieces I have lying around. Does anybody know if there is an adapter available so I can run that wheel in a traditional 9mm qr fork?

Any help would be appreciated.

What hub does the wheel have?

If the hub is designed to be converted then it's easy enough, otherwise I don't think it's possible, bar having something custom machined. You should email the hub manufacturer and ask them just to be sure.

It's an on-one hub that came on a complete bike so I suspect it isn't possible ... but, i thought it was worth asking the question.... thanks for the replies
