Just ordered a set of the Cosines, and it would appear the front wheel is Thru Axle compatible...(I only have QRs, but it definitely seemed like it was) Would be interestign to confirm it though as I don't really know what I'm looking for.

You can see the split line that runs around the QR entry/exit and that bit pops in and out easily with your fingers to reveal a bigger hole - which I'm presuming you can fit a TA in.

You'd need new end caps for a TA, assuming that is TA compatible.

I have some novatech hubs - that look like those - that are not TA compatible even though the end caps are removable for servicing.

Interesting - they probably are re-badged Novatechs - the rims are just re-badged Alexs so doubt they're some propriety Wiggle hubs.

Would be cool to hear if anyone has tried thru axles?
