Hi All

I have an brand new set of 900DB's that were takeoffs from my supersix and I want to press them into service as a set of cheap and cheerful (and heavy) gravel wheels so I can run 11 speed on my G bike. They come setup as 12mm as standard and there is not option for QR kits as they are a OEM wheel.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a QR kit from another Fulcrum wheelset on these? It's unsure what hub they use or if it's the same as other 28 h hubs in the range

thanks in advance, D

I don't have experience of fulcrum/campy wheels but speaking from a general view:

It should be possible as long as the hubs aren't 142mm only. Remove the endcaps and measure the axle length. Is it feasible that other endcaps can produce a 135mm axle length? That's the question you want answered.

The front wheel is no problem.

Good call, the axle tube is 140mm so unless I replace that as well it’s not going to happen. I think I’ll just bite the bullet and get a set of scribe gravel wheels which look quite attractive

Thanks for the tip
