What the title says. Currently got a commuter style bicycle with “quick release” axles. Can I switch to Thruaxle style somehow? Seems like you can use nicer bearings and stuff with those. And I really would like even better “roll” when commuting
Read something about the frame needing to be different for thruaxle, but I’m getting conflicting information from the internet and friends that ride racer bicycles😃
Edit: I’ve got hydraulic disc brakes if that matters
In my humble experience the through axels have larger diameter hole in the dropouts. Also, through axels are just a hole where quick release is usually a slot. There might be some adapter out there but it seems like it would be a lot of work to get the two systems to meet up. People have used quick release system for many many years. I’m sure if you’re looking for a better roll there are easier options than this one. Maybe just swap the bearings or get nicer wheels?
