    photos of the bit you have?

    the 20mm axle should not have come with the wheels as the axles are fork specific.

    Don't quite follow: can you cut it down into sentances?

    You want to convert the hub from 9mm QR to 20mm screw though?

    this is what you should have

    you will need to unscrew (at a guess) the Qr ends and then remove the silver qr axle.

    then the 20 cups just sit in the openings and are held there when you fit you fork axle.

    for info for the next time posting links to parts that are not your is of ZERO help.

    next time if help is required and pics are require post your pics then a problem may be seen.

    Posting CRCs pics is no help. :wink:
