I have some Cobalt wheels that are 15mm, I think I can change to QR but can't find anything online. Anyone ever done it? How do the 15mm adaptors come out? Thanks
My understanding is with a 15mm to QR conversion you don't need a wheel model specific converter as you are just making the hole for the axle smaller (and there is no problem with the hub width as there is going 20mm to 15mm).

Don't know if this will help?
Crank Brothers supply/sell the convertors for the wheels. To remove the ends you just use a set of pliers and a rag (so as not to damage the insert) and they just pull out. IIRC you need to pull it in a rocking motion to make it easier to get out.
Thanks everyone. That's sorted it.
I have just done the same with a rear 142x12 to 135x9, got the conversion kit through the LBS as Extra uk don't deal direct, I ended up emailing CB in the US for the correct part number as Extra gave me the wrong part number which turned out to be a QR skewer, not a cheap thing do do at £35 for two cups 🙁
