|   No QR for Novatech? | aka brad
Jan 13, 2004 6:47 AM | | I decided to swap out my rear Surly hub (with AL disc adapter) with a Novatech SS disc hub; quite the boat anchor but looks it will do the job. Only problem is I was hoping the axle was Shimano standard (10mm) for a QR but it's proprietary. Any know if there is a QR axle out there for a Novatech hub?

Jan 13, 2004 7:55 PM | | Nope that bad boy is nutz. 32seventeen tried ordering a shimano axle, but the original is proprietary as you have found. There was one other guy here that actually made his QR, meaning he drilled it out, you could search the archive for his post, personally drilling that special axle seems like way too much hassle, 32seventeen thought so for now as well. Good luck, if you find a QR solution, I am sure that there others here that would appreciate a heads up on the QRness.

Jan 14, 2004 1:25 PM | | I already have one return from Novatec where they warn me of wanting to use a QR with a hub designed for "nutted type"; the email comes from Taiwan, so go figure. I see that Novatec makes several freehub style hubs w/ QR's so hopefully one of the axles will fit Brant's hub.
