There's a Kinetix (rim and hub) 20" front wheel I'm interested in, except it's 74mm OLD for a Dahon. I need 100mm for the Xootr Swift. Would these thingees convert a 74mm OLD to 100mm OLD? Has anybody used them? Are they strong enough? Did they break?



74mm to 100mm OLD adapters from Ebay.


Here's the Ebay listing of the above: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Bike-Fro...-J_lYgm3XxSGrg

I notice that CH White and Son carries something similar:

Any feedback appreciated!

With the skewer going through the whole assembly and when the QR lever is clamped down I would think the whole package would be plenty strong. I wouldn't hesitate to try them out. I just haven't had the need to put a 74mm wheel in a 100mm fork.

I don't think the part in the 2nd photo is designed to increase OLD. Those look like the standard outer flanges for Kinetix front hubs, just replacement parts.
See this recent thread by tomtomtom123, there is a very clear photo of what these parts are.

Sorry if that isn't helpful.

However, if you get the Muqzi parts, get the red ones. It is established SCIENCE that red parts are faster and lighter.
