What axle have I got on my Genesis Day-one disc?
« on: 04 September, 2014, 09:43:58 am »
I was just about to buy a new wheel with dynamo hub for my day one when I commute in the winter.  however I note that I do not have a standard quick release on the bike but something needing an Allen key.  Will a dynohub with a standard quick release be suitable or do I need something special?

Thanks
Chris

Unlikely to be anything fancy, probably either a skewer with allen heads or a 9mm axle with bolts threaded into each end.  Undo the screws and have a look. :thumbsup:  Certainly the pic on the Genesis website looks like a standard fork.

I'd recommend a Shimano enclosed cam QR for use with discs.
