Rear axle?

DanDax1990

Alright guys, I'm looking at buying a new wheelset soon.

My current wheels are standard Q/R rear but am I right in thinking a Thru axle would be stiffer/stronger?

Apart from a correct size hub, How do I go about converting to a Thru axle? New drop outs or?

I'm a noob.

can you change the drop outs on the frame you have?

just buy the correct hub and axle for your frame.

I'm not entirely sure, The frame is a Voodoo Bokor. Would appreciate a point in the right direction...

Can't be done on your frame.

Bummer, So I'm stuck with the standard Q/R?

supersonic

yes, or a wheel set that takes a 10mm DT RWS/skraxle type thing that makes little difference anyway.

Ok, cheers mate. Would I benefit from a Ti Q/R?

nope it would be worse.

a good shimano Qr is good.

I've currently got a Deore Q/R in and not had any problems yet, Maybe I think I'm fatter than I actually am? Haha.

Cheers for the info guys.

Deore are as good as it gets.
