Not entirely sure if this should be here, or the 97 section, but anywhoo...
I've just received a wheel in the post, built around a Specialized Stout hub (looks to be 10mm OD for the skewer - which acts as an axle on the bearings from what I can tell) but as it would be a shame to rip the hub from the wheel, I've decided to keep it all intact.
So the question is... Can I adapt/convert the skewer/axle combo to accept an older-scool hub QR. Or, as the skewer is pretty hefty, does anyone know of a super lightweight alternative??
