Converting thru axle to quick release?

Jez87

Hi, I have recently purchased a DT Swiss x1700 Wheelset that originally came from a Canyon Nerve XC 8. I have just realised that the front hub is designed for a 15mm thru axle which is a problem because my suspension fork is only designed for QR...... Is there anything I can buy to convert to QR?

Thanks

buy or make a reducing axle. 99% sure the hubs are not convertable.

which hub is the front?

The front hub says x1700.

I have been searching on chain reaction and have fond this:

you could always drop DT an email/phone call and ask direct, they are probably the only ones who can tell you for sure, either that or risk another £27 to try em

Hi, Just wondering if its possible to convert a DT Swiss 340 hub with a 15mm thru axle to a quick release?

Are you sure it is a 340?

As you did not give that info before.

And why start a new topic in the wrong section?

Merged.
