Hi everyone

I am close to buying a set of Enve 3.4 disc wheels on Chris King R45D hubs set up as 12mm thru axle.

My frame is QR rear (not thru axle) so I would need to convert the rear hub to QR.

Can anyone kindly post a link to the right product, or give me a part no.? I am struggling in the minefield of CK spare parts and not sure I'm looking at the right thing.

Thanks very much.

    I think you may be looking for Part No PHB705 as I haven't located any other rear axle QR converters

    but they appear to be unavailable on the Chris King website. Have found them listed on a UK site called Bromley Bike

    https://www.bromleybike.co.uk/shop/comp ... 18907.html

    and also on a South Korean site

    https://www.bicyclehero.com/gb/chris-ki ... rs-x2.html

    Not sure on the veracity of either supplier but at least you could call the UK source to check that you are buying the correct converter

    Thanks, appreciate that. Not sure whether i will actually need a full replacement axle like this

    Turns out I will need the following two parts:

    PHB646 - Rear axle 135mm
    PHB768 - Rear QR axle end

    If anyone has any info on where I might be able to get them, that would be really helpful. I'm struggling to find anywhere apart from Chris King direct, from the US, with crazy shipping charges.

    Thanks v much

    Can a UK Chris King stockist not order them for you? Saddleback are the importer, many, many UK shops have accounts with Saddleback, possibly one of them could help you.
