Which adaptors for Superstar wheels

Criller

Hello,

I'm about to go for a set of Stans Crest on Switch EVO Hubs from Superstar for my Specialised Rockhopper 07.

When looking at the available adaptor options I'm presuming I can just go for QR all round as this is what I have now. But what's the difference between the others that are available?

Thanks

they fit different frames and forks, if you needed them you would know

If you have QRs currently, then your only real option is 9mm through on the front, and 10mm through on the rear. That would mean new QR levers front and rear (swapping to through axle style ones like these: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=287 and the same style on the front too), which would add to the cost, and TBH, give you very little benefit unless you actually want to change your QRs.

I have just had some new wheels from superstar and went with swapping from normal QR to 9&10mm QR, seemed a bit better on the front wheel cant say i really noticed a difference on the back.

To be honest though i couldnt do a proper back 2 back comparison as i had been off my bike for nearly a month while it was getting a major overhaul, new wheels and skewers plus a complete new drive train has changed the feel of my bike completely so picking individual components out is a lttle hard.

Wheels feel very good (my old ones were lets say a little worn) and seemed to carry speed a hell of a lot better.

So if I want to use my existing QR levers I just order with "QR Adaptors"?

Just to confirm my understanding of Adaptors. These are the 'bits' that go through the centre of the hub, through which the QR levers are inserted? Maybe a silly question....

How can I tell what type of adaptors my current wheels have?

thin skewers = regular QR

thicker skewers, well, measure them, they'll either be 9mm or 15mm or 20mm

They will both be quick release.
