Convert rear hub of an older bike to Skewer quick release typepossible?
I have an older schwinn mountain bike.. it has the standard nut type
hub on the rear wheel.. I've recently acquired a trainer, and for the trainer (Minoura rim drive powermatic system), they use skewers and recommend replacing the existing skewer to theirs that came with it, which i did with my newer bike... Is it possible to convert the older bike's nut type setup to a quick release skewer setup? Or cost wise.. would it be cheaper to just find a bike that could be used as a trainer that had the quick release (used)... The local bike store said it wouldnt be possible to convert it. The bike was originally a 10 speed.. with the front sprocket having 2 rings.. i upgraded that awhile back to 3 ring.. i think its 15 speed, but the back is the part that matters here i think... Any thoughts? Thanks |
