SON 12mm Thu axle Dynamo hubs (100mm OLD only) can be made backward compatible with bikes that use a QR front hub. 

Using the SON Front Axle Adapter you can easily convert a 12mm Thu Axle dynamo hub to an old-school quick release. 

Its recommended for the sake of futureproofing, that even if you currently require a QR fitting dynamo hub, you get a Thu-Axle one with an adapter and disc brake mounts, as you will have it futureproofed if you want to use the hub on a more modern bike, or sell it in future. 

It is also cheaper to do this rather than buying both a QR and Thru Axle hub. 



NOTE: Disc brake hubs are fine to use on rim brake wheel builds, it just means you will have an empty disc brake mount.
