quick release conversion

can you take a quick release axle out and replace it with a solid 10mm axle?

Yes. Make sure the axle length gives you sufficient thread length to safely tighten the washers and nuts against the dropouts.

Make sure that the threading on the axles are both the same, eg. 10x1mm on both the QR and solid axle.
