Large problem with the 20mm Thru Axle With 9mm Adapter

I hadn't thought much about it, but looking at the new thru axle hub with the 9mm adapter installed, it looked quite wide. I took out my digital calipers and measured it.

The first picture is of the 20mm thru axle.
Second picture is the measured width of the axle. 120mm
Third picture is of a standard front wheel QR hub from one of my Tidalforce bikes. 100mm!

The 20mm front hub is 20% wider than a normal QR hub can handle!!,

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

Mavic QR 20mm to 9mm adapters arrived!

When I received the Crystalyte motor with matching front wheel, the front wheel was missing the 20mm thru axle. I couldn't use the thru axle either but needed some way short of switching the hub to a QR hub!

Googling around, I spotted these at Pricepoint.com.

They fit perfectly into my axle-less front wheel and look great. The bearing spins freely and the adapters are a very precise fit. It's a great solution for low $$$.
