Abstract:
An axle adapter assembly, configured for enabling conversion of an axle installed on a vehicle to fit different center bore sizes of wheel hubs, including: an axle configured for coupling dropouts of fork legs of a lower fork; adapters configured for being inserted within the dropouts; the adapters configured for engaging an outer surface of the axle and retaining the axle upon engagement; and axle pinch shims configured for being inserted into slits of the dropouts and the adapters, wherein upon the insertion, the adapters are aligned with the dropouts, such that shoulders of the adapters retain edges of a wheel hub of the wheel hubs.

Claim (Index 1):
An adapter assembly configured for enabling different sized axles, corresponding to different center bore sizes of wheel hubs, to be used in a bicycle fork, wherein said adapter assembly comprises:\n a first adapter having an outer diameter and an inner diameter, said outer diameter of said first adapter having a size configured for insertion within a dropout of a first fork leg of a fork, said inner diameter of said first adapter having a size configured for receiving an axle therein, said axle having a diameter which is not intended for use with said dropout of said first fork leg; a second adapter having an outer diameter and an inner diameter, said outer diameter of said second adapter having a size configured for insertion within a dropout of a second fork leg of said fork, said inner diameter of said second adapter having a size configured for receiving said axle therein, said axle having a diameter which is not intended for use with said dropout of said second fork leg; and said first adapter and said second adapter configured to retain said axle therein with at least a portion of said axle disposed between said first fork leg and said second fork leg, such that a wheel hub having a center bore size corresponding to said axle can be utilized with said fork.
