I have a WTB DH wheelset that I would like to turn the rear into a bolt on. Is there any kit I can get?

Might not be possible. For Shimano hubs and others with traditional ball bearings and cones, it's an easy axle swap. But the solid 10mm (mtn) axles I've seen are threaded from end to end, (not possible to press-fit the sealed bearings your hub comes with.) Might have to rebuid on an XT or something.

Thanks for your reply. I just might do that. My 2002 Turner DHR needs some sort of bolt on to stiffen the rear end. Thanks again.
