15/20mm axle to 9mm axle conversion?

[Fatal Swan]

I'm new to all this modern axle sizing stuff, sorry...

I'm expecting in the post a set of these wheels:

But apparently the front wheel on the set I'm getting has only a 15/20mm axle at the moment. I'd like to use them with my old Manitou Mars forks, obviously for standard 9mm axle. Can the 15/20mm axle be converted to slot a standard QR through? What are the options and how easy is it to do?

Cheers

Go to the company website and they should have the user manual there. Might also be info on spares available such as axle kits.

The one in the pic looks like QR from here, so might be possible. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cheers, after a bit of research I'm pretty sure it can be done, but there seem to be a number different possibilities depending on what axle is actually on there so maybe I'd better wait and see what actually turns up. As far as I understand, this is what I'm getting on the front wheel, but it looks to me like it might fit on a standard QR dropout? Better wait and see and ask more questions when I've got hold of them...

Right, problem solved I think - as I'd hoped, the axle in the above picture that came with the wheels is actually a QR conversion kit, so it looks like it will be a pretty straightforward job of removing the equivalent 15mm kit that's currently installed, fitting this one in (as per http://www.amclassic.com/download/manua ... trofit.pdf) and away we go, QR front wheel. Cheers for the replies.
