Hello all

Has any one got any experience with nukeproof rear hubs,I would like to change the 135x12 axel to a 9mm qr axel
But before I buy the kit is this a straight fowrd process? Iv never worked with sealed bearing wheels before only cup and cone

If anyone has any advice would be greatful

It might be possible with a new axle and end caps, but not just with spacers. I'd contact Nukeproof.

I imagine some of the bearings will come off when you remove the old axle.

Yeh that's what I was thinking,..

Do u think it possible to use the same bearings that are already in ther for the 135x12 axel

To use with new axel I want to use the 9mm qr ,or will have to buy new ones,I want to do this with less cost possible my lbs don't deal with sealed hubs
Thank for your help mate

The bearings in the hubs are the same.

just get a new axle for the frame

KBA to look for a Qr one

or have one made.

The converter the OP posted from tredz slides straight in to the 12mm axle, no need to dismantle anything as the converter replaces the bolt through axle and is hollow for a QR skewer.

Thank you for the advice I also found this sun ringle similar to the azonic ,but I would like to know can I slide it right in the existing 12mm axle to convert it?


Or do I still have to dismantle and replace
