Probably just me having a moment but i've just bought a wheelset with a halo spindoctor rear hub. It has a QR axle which I thought was supposed to be 9mm, meaning it should slot into my two6player's 10mm dropouts with a bit of space right?
Well it doesn't! It's like the dropouts are way too small to fit anything! Wouldn't fit my SX Trail's 10mm bolt through and now won't fit the QR! What is going on? Don't want to go ahead and buy this 10mm conversion kit to find that it doesn't fit either!
Can't understand this!
Although a front qr axle is 9mm, a rear one is 10mm. This doesn't explain your wheel not fitting in though: it should be a snug fit but you should be able to slide it back and forth in the slot with a bit of force. have a look at the insides of the dropouts (well, track ends really on that bike) -if the paint has been applied to thickly in this area you will have a job getting a 10mm axle in: I have read of this on other threads about steel frames and cartidge bearing-ed hubs. Usually the solution is to carefully file off the paint inside the 'U' of the dropout/slot (as opposed to the inside faces where the locknuts of the hub push outwards against.)
