I assume this isn't something that exists, but just wanted to check before I go rebuilding this wheel with a new hub. I currently have a Shimano Alfine dynamo hub that's 9mm QR. I got a fork(frameset) that has a 12x100mm through axle. There's no way to use that wheel and fork together, right?

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

A quick search came up with nothing to adapt your thru axle fork to use a qr hub. The other way around, TA hub to QR fork, is fairly straightforward, Problem Solvers makes the adapters, but not the way you want to go. Sorry.
