  1. Hi

    This may seem rather obvious, but bear with me.

    Can I run my QR skewers on my current rear wheel with a frame that has
    horizontal dropouts? Or do I need to get a bolt-through axle?

    If I do, what are my options?

    Is a whole new hub necessary, or am I able to get an axle and bolts
    that would fit into the current hub?

    Thanks

    A QR will work fine with horizontal ends.
