Description of Axle Release Conversion Kit 3 8 Inch

Conversion kit for use with bicycle equipped with 3/8" diameter axles that have 24 threads per inch. Older bicycles and select brands such as Huffy use these axles. Installs in seconds using a #3 hex key (aka: allen wrench). Safest quick release system on the market with two (2) independent cams that ensure a secure connection everytime.

Better Cycling Performance with Easy Axle Conversion

The kit is easy to install and improves cycling performance .Perfect for upgrading older bikes. However, it may not fit all BIKE models. as a cyclist, this kit is a game-changer for my bike rides. It has improved my cycling performance and I can easily upgrade my older bike. This kit is a great investment for any sports and outdoors enthusiast looking for a quick upgrade. However, make sure to check your bike model before making the purchase..

Pros
  • Allows for easy and quick removal of bike wheels for maintenance or transport.
Cons
  • May require some technical knowledge and tools to install properly.

Unfortunately it is not compatible with the axle quick release for which it was designed to convert threads.

The concept is good. Unfortunately, the performance still leaves a lot to be desired. The quick release axle lock comes with 26 dpi threaded nuts. The replacement nuts in this conversion kit should allow the quick release to be used with 24tpi axles or bolts. In reality, as you can see in the photo, the nuts are about 1/4 inch longer, although they should be the same length. To compensate for the extra length I had to fabricate 2 spacers in the machine shop, 8mm thick with 20mm OD and 12mm ID…

Pros
  • The most secure quick release system on the market with two (2) independent cams that always provide a secure connection.
Cons
  • later I will add
