Hi
I am a bit confused about thru - axles. I have an Orange Patriot frame which I want to attach a Shimano Saint wheelset to, I will be getting Marzocchi 888s for the front with a 20mm thru axle so thats ok (I think), but I am a bit confused about the rear, will I have to convert my regular rear dropouts to cater for a rear 10mm axle or will I be able to attach the saint rear wheel with a regular QR? Thanks.

if the saint rear is a 10mm through axle you can run a conversion axle (a 10mm rod with threads at the end)."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
