Im in the very early stages of getting my old gt tour 2 back on the road after getting it back in a mess years after selling it.

I got hold of some wheels and some other bits.

i had an hour free this weekend so thought i would get started .

So i thought i would bang the wheels on to see whats what and realised the wheels are 14mm and bike is 10mm i think .. :-/

So do i now have to sort axels out somehow on both wheels or drill the frame and forks ?

cheers for any help

CustardLips:
Don't drill the dropouts out... get a different wheelset.  :daumenhoch:

oldtired:
change the wheels, or just the hubs,    at worst slot the axles to fit the 3/8th  (10mm) dropouts ,  DON'T cut ,drill, grind out the dropouts on the frame !!!!  "nono" "nono"   unless your having them machined professionally,   it's difficult to get right,    even then having them machined professionally  is a real bad idea ! 

Alpinesurfer:
So i can't just bang some 10 mm axels inside then?

fugazi:
What hubs are you using & are the axles solid or hollow?
