Question: Can Suzue Pro Max accept QRs?
 

Quick question:

Can Suzue Pro Max hubs accept a quick release axle?

If it helps: Mine are not carbon, and they say japan on them, 36 spokes (for model id)

I'll be running one only on the front, if possible. I'm just looking at this thing and it doesn't look like it. I don't want to start pulling nuts off this hub and find out I've broken it or something.

I'd like to so I can pop the front wheel off so the bike can fit in my car during the few times I'll have to transport it. Also, fixing flats... I just hate the nuts.

Thanks.

You'd be better off just investing the $5 in a 15mm wrench for those times you need to fit your bike in a car. It's really much easier (and a lot cheaper!) than swapping out an axle to accommodate a skewer.

is your friend.

So is that a NO? Or do you guys just prefer the hex nuts?

Price isn't really an issue if the hub can accept a QR - i picked up a used steel QR for $7.

I know I prefer a QR - just don't know if the hub is compatible.

You would have to find a compatible hollow axle. As your current axle is 10mm in diameter, and most QR are 9mm, I'd say even if it were possible it would be a major PITA. If there are ridges on your axle for the bearings to seat (like on a Formula hub) then it is impossible.

If you want a QR just pick up a wheel with a road hub.

ok thanks.

ill stick with what i have

all the axle sizes for suzue are here. so if you decide to switch this will help.
I usually switch from quick release to track nuts myself but to each there own.

hope this helps

even a compact 15mm wrench like the surly will give you enough leverage to keep a front wheel on. qr is overrated functionally.

Oh, I have no doubts that the bolts will work. I just hate carrying around a wrench. Mainly because I tend to lose tools.

dimensions & and its rebrands accept QR and locking skewers, correct?

The local pawn shop will have a big box full of cheap wrenches. Go buy a few so you have a spare if need be.

If you just run quick release in the front, you'll still need to carry a wrench to fix a flat in the rear. I don't know about you, but most of my flats have been in the rear.
