Convert 135mm Thru Axle to QR?

Postby fpstroy » Sun Aug 12, 2018 9:03 pm

I ordered the below wheels believing they were QR.


Fulcrum Racing Sport 700c DB 6-Bolt Wheelset 2016

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.

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.

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.
