I am servicing a friends bike as a favour, its about 10yrs old. The hubs don't have QR skewers, or even hex skewers. They have a solid threaded axle with bolts holding it into the forks - if you need to change your wheel you have to use a spanner!
My question is, can I convert these to QR and if so, what would I need?
I assume I would need new hollow axles and some QR skewers. I have no idea what kind of bearings these hubs have, I couldn't see any obvious cup/cone lockrings, but I am obviously slightly concerned that if I remove the axles I may end up with bearings falling all over the place.
Any comments? Thank you in advance for any help.
Just axles and skewers, not often considered money well spent (£20+labour?)
Hmmm yeah, I think it won't be worth it. It woudl cost ~£15 just for some hex skewers, and I can't seem to find replacement axles yet.
