I've been a bit of a numpty when ordering some new SuperStar wheels. In my haste to grab a bargain, I temporarily forgot that standard QR is 9mm rear, and not 10mm, so ordered the 10mm. I may or may not have been under the influence of beer and wine at the time. 😳
I know I can buy the spare axle off Superstar for a tenner or so, but wasn't there a widget available somewhere that slots into the 10mm axle to turn it into a 9mm axle? I'm sure CRC used to stock it, but they seem to have reduced the size of their selection of those weird-but-really-useful bits and pieces.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of said widget?
Perhaps the weird-but-really-useful bits and pieces has reduced as less folk are drinking and purchasing? 😉
Almost did the same thing as the prices were very good...saved my confusion though - I bought a set of On-One wheels for £100 instead...
Why not just order the SS 10mm qr lever to go with the 10mm wheel?
I've got a bolt up dmr axle that converts a rear bolt through to q/r, it's quite heavy!
The thing is by the time you've bought one you might as well get the proper axle from SS
There is a 10mm QR lever on SS? I shall go and have a look!
Ooooh! Look at that - there is too! And it would even colour co-ordinate with the new build!
So before I press the button, can someone reassure me that it will work in a standard QR dropout?
forgot that standard QR is 9mm rear, and not 10mm,
Standard rear QR is 10mm. It's the front that is 9mm.
it will work in a standard QR dropout?
yes it will. I run one on my standard, rear dropouts
Good man! Thanks Stevie!
The standard rear QR dropout is 10mm, the front is 9mm.
