QUESTION reposted: 15mm hub conversion to a 15mm dropout
What up everyone, thanks in advance for your help.

I have a fork with a 15mm dropout.
My hub is a 20mm atomlab that already has a 9mm conversion on it.

How should I proceed to hook them up?
Do I just need a 9mm skewer with a top hat adapter? Seems flimsy.

I've been doing research but can't quite figure it out. They have a 15mm thru axle conversion for the hubs but my fork is a bolt-on.

Thanks again,
martin

Ask atomlab if they make a 15mm conversion skewer compatible.

Thanks for your reply.

I may just do that. Though, I haven't seen any 15mm skewers out there from any company.

Already added my .02¢ in the other thread.

You did, I'll take both pennies as an option, thanks!

I want to just be able to use a 15mm adapter with either a skewer or bolt-on somehow.

You dont have a 15mm fork.

Its a 14mm designed for bmx hubs...

Posting another thread wont change that.


You still have not answered my question of what fork you own???

i bought this frame with a bundle of other stuff and this fork came with it. not sure what kind it is. i'll post a close-up of the dropout, maybe someone can identify it by its shape and triangular-machined grove it has.

yeah, i think your right. either new hub or new fork. the fox QR axle is pretty wide (due to the thickness of the fork arm). No way I can use that on thin BMX-style dropouts.

I'll probably just have to buy a 20mm thru-axle. Cause that's what the hubs are originally and I have the adapters for it. I may have to steal the dj1's off of my Riot for now.

You guys out there are cool for helping me with this issue. I will return the favor when applicable! I'm not an online type-of-guy (mandown is who got me to sign up - met him on a trail), but these forums were really helpful.

peace, m.
