prox hub quick release adapter
« on: July 03, 2024, 09:30:25 AM »
Hello all,

I have just received a pair of ProX wheels and I am trying to make them work on an old bike frame with QR dropouts.

The front wheel works fine using a standard QR adapter 12x100 -> 9x100, but the rear one is too big.

I have tried using DT Swiss adapters I had lying around: they fit but the bearings (?) rub quite badly, especially when loading the axle.

I was hoping someone could point me in a direction of alternative end caps that could fit the purpose ?

Asking ProX support: they do not support QR so no luck there. But I am trying to order spare end caps and file them down to size.

PS: the goal was always to use these wheels on my next frame, so I am not too worried. I would just have liked to test them on the current frame, and be able to mix and match old/new bike parts.
