My hunt wheels didn't come with qrs. Will my hope adaptors fit?

Surely they have to all be the same size.

Just planning my evening, if adaptors are the same ,I shall fit wheels. If not I shall clear trails.

Depends, try it and see? Not all 142x12 hubs can be converted though. I've got some Fulcrums that can't be converted to 135 QR because of how the axle is held in the hub. Also, not all hubs are the same so there's no reason why parts from one manufacturer should fit another's.

Absolutely not. You will be extremely lucky if adaptor from one producer will be compatible with other producer's hub.

Cheers!

no

Hunts you'll need an axle kit to convert as they are novatech hubs. Hunt sell them.

Front wheels however you can run one of those cheap conversion axles on any 100mm front hub but end caps from other mfrs probably won't fit.

Clearing trails it is.

So next time someone trots out the 'they're just rebadged Chinese tat etc' you'll be able to cite why it can be a good idea to deal with real life, onshore people 👍
