The Fulcrum RM11-TAQR adapter kit instantly transforms your front wheels equipped with a 15 mm HH15 thru-axle into a quick release (QR) 9x100 mm setup. This ingenious technical solution offers unmatched versatility for cyclists who wish to use their wheels on multiple bikes, frames with different geometries, or traditional trainers. Manufactured from CNC-machined aluminum alloy, this Fulcrum kit guarantees optimal rigidity and reliability, without compromising safety or performance.

Technical Summary

This conversion kit is designed for owners of modern Fulcrum wheels fitted with 15 mm thru-axle hubs (HH15 standard, 15x100 mm). By replacing the original end caps with the supplied adapters, you transform the mounting system into a classic 9 mm quick release. The operation is reversible and requires no specialized tools: the end caps simply insert by friction (push-fit) into the hub body. This bidirectional compatibility allows you to use the same pair of wheels on a modern MTB with thru-axle and a road or gravel frame with quick release.

Extended Compatibility and Universality

• Fulcrum off-road hubs: Compatible with all Fulcrum MTB hubs manufactured from 2013, including the Red Carbon HH15, XRP Series, Red Metal 0/1/3/29XL, Red Power XL/29XL/HP2015, Red Zero, Red Zero XLR and Red Passion ranges.
• Road disc hubs: Also works with Road DB (disc brake) hubs produced from 2016, offering a universal solution for modern wheels.
• Original standards: Designed for wheels equipped with a 15 mm x 100 mm (HH15) or 12 mm x 100 mm (HH12) thru-axle, converting to the QR 9 mm x 100 mm standard.
• Multiple uses: Ideal for switching from a modern disc road bike to a quick release trainer, or for using performance wheels on a vintage or gravel frame.

Technical Highlights

• Tool-free installation: The end caps are removed and replaced manually by simple pressure. No wrench, extractor or specific tools required. The operation takes less than two minutes per wheel.
• Premium material: CNC-machined aluminum alloy with hardened surface treatment, guaranteeing maximum wear resistance and longevity even in intensive conditions.
• Preserved rigidity: The technical design ensures a tight, play-free fit, maintaining the lateral rigidity of the hub and bearing precision. No loss of performance during acceleration or sprinting.
• Controlled weight: At approximately 40 grams per pair, these adapters add only negligible mass to the wheelset. Perfect for weight-conscious cyclists.
• Total reversibility: Keep your original thru-axle caps and alternate between the two standards in seconds. No permanent modification to the hub.

Dimensional Specifications and Installation

The kit includes 2 end caps (one for each side of the front hub). The total length of 82 mm guarantees compatibility with forks with 100 mm dropout spacing. The adapters are friction-fitted into the designated housing of the Fulcrum hub: simply remove the original HH15 caps (by pulling firmly, sometimes with soft pliers) and insert the new QR caps until they stop. Always check that the quick release is properly locked before riding, and follow the tightening torques recommended by your frame or fork manufacturer.

Recommended Use and Maintenance

This kit is suitable for road, gravel, MTB and cyclocross use, on varied terrain and in all weather conditions. It is particularly appreciated by cyclists owning multiple bikes with different axle standards, or wishing to use a traditional trainer. For maintenance, regularly clean the caps with a lightly oiled cloth and check for play after each installation. If you have difficulty removing the caps, use rubber-covered pliers to avoid damaging the anodization.
