Hello,

I am getting back into cycling and this is my first decent bike. Where can I find a quickrelease for the front wheel?

Thanks

From what I can see, this is a thru-axle bike. You cannot use a quick release.

It's not a quick release in traditional sense. It's a quick remove axle.

Contact a Cannondale Dealer.

This is for a 2019. Probably the same as yours but you should verify for the year of your bike.

Well, sure enough you do. But your not going to put your wheel on his bike, end of story.

Not the end.
Many wheels are easily converted from QR to Thru Axle. Most now come with end caps for both.

... and I don't think a 'quick remove axle' is really that much quicker than a twirl and clamp axle, and I got them both on the same bike.

Did anyone ever say they were intended to be quicker?

There is no way I can convert any of my QR to Thru Axle's. I guess they have them if you say so, I'm not a'gin it! ... so he can convert from Thru Axle to QR and put it on his bike?
It's right in the name "QUICK thru axle", HELLO!

Contact C-Dale. My aluminum 105 (I think that's now the Topstone 1) came with the thru-axle plus handle as shown in Tig's post, for front and rear. Note that using the handle model on the rear prevents mounting a rear rack on the eyelets provided, the handle hits a bolt at the non driveline side eyelet. You end up taking off the handle and using a allen key to install and remove the TA.

Of course they have them. Been around for years. Most of my wheels are easily convertible with included caps. Simply swap them out.

The advantage may not be speed but in not have to carry a allen key.

Because allen keys weigh sooooo much. Doesn't everyone carry a multi tool? :rolleyes:
