I have a second hand GT Peace 9r. It currently has a bolted on rear wheel. I would like to change it to QR.
Do I change the axle or saw it down?
Does the axle have a hole through the middle?
i think it does.
Could you confirm if it does?
I can confirm the axle has a hole through the middle.
then place a qr through that hole and attach to your bike using that
NB rear QR is longer than Front
I don't think it's as easy as that...
It's 135mm spacing between the drop outs. The axle is nearly twenty mm on top of that at either end.
if its a simple cup and cone setup u just need a rear qr axle and qr job done if its cartridge i may juat have to lop 20mm of each side of the axle but thats if thers not to much give with the qr though the axle.
Saw it!

Sawn off. £3 QR from LBS.
Job done.
Keep ye olde nut set-up. On my ss it means I can run it without a tensioner.
