So you'll need a 6mm hex key to remove the front wheel, which is going to have a solid axle. And just for fun - I'll buy lunch for anyone that can guess what I ended up ordering and why. Seriously!
Yikes! Two weeks and no guesses let alone winners!
Didn't think it was all that tough - guess I'll have post a picture. OK - later today.....
EDIT:
Pretty straight forward. Same axle nuts as on the rear axle. The Hone axles are both 10mm front and back. It did require replacing and modifying an axle, but besides looking cleaner than a QR, that has the advantage of one tool to remove / tighten both wheels, and because they all now require a 6mm Allan key, a little more theft deterrent than a QR axle.
Expect to put together a couple wheel-sets later over the summer.
