How To Use Thru Axle Wheels On A Quick Release Frame And Fork | Velofuze Hub Adapter

NOTE: At the end I mention that you can purchase a similar adapter for a 142TA to 135QR conversion. That's incorrect. The only way to convert between those two standards is if your hub has end caps that can be swapped out to run either axle standard. Velofuze does sell a similar adapter, but it's for converting between 135QR and 135TA (a very uncommon size).

When I put a rigid fork on my Surly Karate Monkey, I realized I had a problem. The suspension fork spacing used a 15x100 TA while the rigid fork needed a 100 QR hub. I first thought about buying a whole new wheel, but then found a solution through Velofuze's hub adapter.

Very useful - my bike store called me all apologetic about my "old" - 2018!! - bike with through skewer not being compatible with new wheelsets. I did some google searching, found your infos and voila! So big thank you :)

How did I not know this was a thing? THANKS!!!

Super useful, should've known there would be a video like this on this channel, lol. Never thought I'd go back to quick release, but I just got a Pugsley and I love the thing, 135mm QR hubs front and back.

Yes... a simple thing that's also a real god-send. But someone REALLY needs to come up with a rim adapter for running disc wheels with V brakes, and while we're at it an aero faring set for round tubed frames. That's where the big bucks can be made😀

Your a legend! Thank you! 😁
I think thats also what the person below is trying say 🤣

really should rename to adapt thru wheel to qr

The problem with people is that they are converting their forks and rear dropouts with adapters when in fact they just want to run the TA wheel. Curious about the rear though how does a 142mm hub become a 135 without spreading the frame open. I'm not sure where you came up with 135mm is the same spacing as 142mm obviously its larger so what part makes is the same?

Will this work for 29” bike? Also, I can’t find one for the back wheel, do you have link to share?

[bibiturbox]

I found a 15x100mm thru axle to 9x100mm quick release adapter, but my fork dropouts are specified for 10mm quick release, will it cause play?

[Hijacker]

Does the hub adapter need to be lubed or is it good dry?

[aintnobodygottimedat]

Do you still use the 2 QR axle springs?

[nedzgamueda]

how about a 142mm rear hub can it fit on 135mm drop out

Hello. What is called about your fork?

[TommyBlazeHD]

Are these adapters safe to run? Need to do this for my wife’s bike.

[damo]

doesnt this still kill the point of having a thru axle if you still putting a QR through

[davidshirman]

what about if it was a quick release WHEEL but a through axel FORK?

[WoodstarForges]

Ive just bought some new wheels that are thru axle for my QR bike and cant find any adapters for the back wbeel 😭
