Hi all,
I'm looking for a set of hollow spindles to make an old wheelset QR. Front 7.5mm diameter, Rear 9.5mm diameter.
I can't seem to find anything much at all on ebay with a semi-specific search.
Please don't hesitate to tell me if no such thing exists as I really have very little idea what I'm on about!

lewisg- Wheels Manufacturing sells replacement axles here: wheelsmfg.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=axles Probably the easiest thing would to do would be find QR junk hubs of the same or similar brand as yours and just swap the axles between your current solid axle hubs and the QR ones. It's a straight forward exchange and uses the same cones and spacers. Make sure the rear axle widths are the same as you could end up with 120, 126 or 130 over locknut diameter hub spacings that will interchange parts but will then not fit in your dropouts. Don't worry if the "new" QR hub axle is longer, a hacksaw solves that problem, if need be.
