Just bought a Cotic Escapade F & F 2nd hand. The fork has a 9 x 100 Superstar thru axle. I need to build up a pair of wheels but struggling to work out what will fit. Am going with a Surly 135mm hub on the back that will be run fixed. Preferably I want one of these up front but no idea if it will fit - wondered if I could just prise the fork apart slightly so the stub axles fit the holes and bolt the ends on from the outside?! https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/components-c9/hubs-c120/ultra-new-disc-front-hub-p1731.
Otherwise could I just go with a standard QR with the thru axle removed? Any help appreciated. The LBS are being useless & not having much google luck. Ta.
