hiya can anyone please help i've just bought a set of da bomb wheels with head spin hubs the front hub is compatable with qr or 20 mm thru axle im using forks that use the 20mm axle but my problem is the front hub is set up as qr and not 20 mm axle does anyone know how you take the qr out so i can fit the 20mm axle which came with the wheels too.

photos of the bit you have?
the 20mm axle should not have come with the wheels as the axles are fork specific."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Don't quite follow: can you cut it down into sentances?
You want to convert the hub from 9mm QR to 20mm screw though?0 -
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."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

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."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
