I have just taken some wheels off my Cannondale Synapse they are 12 x 100 front and 12 x 142 rear fitted with 30mm tubeless tyres, I was going to use them on my other bike, I can convert the front to QR easily I am still searching for a solution for the rear,
Formula Hubs, WTB i19 rims, WTB Tan Wall tyres 30mm.

Before I decide to sell them, has anybody converted these hubs? the rear axle comes out easily so looks changeable.

Any body else with Formula Hubs looking for a solution, this is how I made it fit.

I used a Prime axle from CRC £7,99 this fits the bearings and comes with the NDS lock nut with integrated dropout boss, but in this guise it is long for the bearing positions in the Formula Hub, I had a shorter NDS lock nut with integrated dropout boss, so I cut about 5 mm of the threaded end of the new axle, and it now fits using the alternative nut.

If you don't have a shorter nut the one supplied could be cut down.
