Frame that accepts qr and thru axles?
« on: April 16, 2022, 09:24:11 PM »
I'm looking for a gravel frame that takes both qr and thru axles for the wheels. I thought I saw a post for one but can't find it.

I'm going to migrate my old gravel bike components to the new frame then if I like it upgrade the wheels and groupset later. Current wheelset is quick release hence the question.

I don't think that'll work. The hub spacing is different on these wheels as well, so unless your wheelset already supports thru axles by switching the end caps, you'll need to get a new one.

Good point. Are there any qr gravel frames still around?

FYI, I just noticed the ICAN AC388 has bolt on dropouts. I don't see details about having QR dropouts available, but that's the kind of frame that would be convertible. May be worth reaching out to them.
