Does anyone know if there are any adapters available for a Bontrager Rhythm Comp wheel?

Thanks

Saw a similar thread the other day, although about 15mm hubs. Now, these are designed by mavic, but perhaps they would work for all 20mm hubs:

I think it depends on the width of existing axle end caps - those mavic ones might do the job.

If the bontrager hubs come out of the "chosen" factory in taiwan then DMR convertible end caps might work.

See if your hub looks like this:

I posted a similar thread yesterday. Stupid question but how do those adapters work, I mean surely there still needs to be the 9mm axel running through the hub, rather than just the quick release spindle? Or am I missing something obvious?

Sorry to revive this, but wondering if someone could provide an answer to my fairly daft question above?

I think in all of the adaptors there is a step in the machining that is supported inside the 20mm axle which stays in the hub- on the mavic ones it is quite deep, on the others shallower. These support the axle in the dropouts and the QR holds it all together
