1. A fork assembly comprising:
a crown;
a first leg coupled to said crown, said first leg comprising an axle retaining feature;
a second leg coupled to said crown, said second leg comprising a clamping feature and a wheel hub interface sleeve;
an axle capture sleeve; and
an axle configured to radially couple a wheel hub between said first leg and said second leg, said axle comprising:
a capturable portion configured for capture by the axle retaining feature; and
an adjustable component configured to removably retain said axle between said first leg and said second leg of said fork assembly, said adjustable component configured to dispose said wheel hub interface sleeve proximate said axle capture sleeve;

wherein said axle capture sleeve is further to maintain an acceptable geometry for said fork assembly, said acceptable geometry at least partially defined by a separation distance between said first leg and said second leg, said axle capture sleeve enabling wheel hubs of different axial lengths to be retained between said first fork leg and said second fork leg without deviating from said acceptable geometry for said fork assembly.
