Just bought a pair of wheels from someone on ebay. How on earth do I convert my hope bulb hub so that I can use it on my bike with quick release? My question relates to the front wheel which at the moment has a hole about 22mm in diameter through the middle!

I've got one in the garage. Yours for a tenner

The 20mm hub bits are held in with a circlip - remove circlip, remove end bits, insert the QR convertor (5mm allen key in each to unscrew it / screw it back together)

I'd be very interested in buying your 20mm bulb adaptors once you make the switch to QR.

Just a word of warning. The adapotors for BULB front hubs vary depending on whether it's a 5 bolt ot 6 bolt hub.

My hub is a 6 bolt hub and 20mm in diameter (not 22mm as I stated above)so please ensure if you offer me for sale it is fit for its purpose, thanks
