I ordered the below wheels believing they were QR.
Fulcrum Racing Sport 700c DB 6-Bolt Wheelset 2016
http://www.this link is broken/au/e ... prod171493
Turns out the rear was thru axle and only the front was QR doh!
Anyone know where I can get a conversion kit to make the rear 135mm QR?
Found nuke proof make a kit but its out of stock

I did exactly the reverse with a set of Fulcrum Red Power wheels recently - I wanted thru axles both ends. It was simply a matter of changing the end caps on the front hub.fpstroy wrote:I ordered the below wheels believing they were QR.

Hi RenK this gives me some hope, any idea where I can buy the end caps?
The wheels didn't come with any additional ones.

Trying to remember. I will have the QR end caps somewhere. I will try to find them. But I'm not sure if they will fit your hub.

Thanks for the offer RonK let us know how you go.RonK wrote:Trying to remember. I will have the QR end caps somewhere. I will try to find them. But I'm not sure if they will fit your hub.
I went to the local bike shop apparently the end caps are on back order from distributor. ~2 weeks before I can order them.. Ill see if I can get some quicker online. Sounds like they will be about $50 + freight from LBS.
I got the part number KITFCRAQR..

Very sorry - turned the place upside down this afternoon but could not find the end caps. I think Bikebug has them.
