Can a Morphine use a reg QR rear or does it have to be a 10mm thru axel?


Its designed to use a 10mm axle but I ran a qr on mine. I ran it singlespeed and used the dropout screws to get the chain pretty tight. Its ghetto but once its setup your wheel shouldn't move. Its a good enough fix untill you buy a bolt on hub. And if you're running it geared, you have to get a bolt on hub.

just get bolt on, you won't regret it:D

Ya I just dont feel like buying the hub, and then paying to get the wheel laced.....Id do it myself, but i dunno how to...... there isnt like a spacer you can buy to make it like a 10mm?

10mm bolt-on? It's just an axle... All Shimano hubs and most other loose ball bearing hubs can be fitted with a bolt-on axle. Hubs using sealed cartridge bearings will have to use a different axle depending on bearing placement. QR hubs are still 10mm.

could u use sulry tugnuts or something similar?

I just had a Morphine built up and I used a Shimano FH-M475 hub (stock rear on Kona Stuff 2006) and I used the solid axle that the morphine came with, with that hub. I read that Shimano hubs can use that axle. If you dont know how to do it, take it to your LBS. If you don't have the solid axle, www.unrealcycles.com has one in the "small parts" section.

Or your LBS will have one for 10 to 15 dollars as well...
