<p>If you're Sven or Jeremy you don't have to worry about how much through axles cost. We got a rear convertible Velocity hub at the shop the other day. Looks pretty good. </p>

<p>thanks for the heads up - but already ordered a new set of wheels with standard hub...:-)...they gotta stop changing shit so fast - too much $$$ to keep up - unless your Sven or Jeremy....:-)</p>

<p>Exact same reason I made the purchase. Even though the bike doesn't have the latest features, the races I have done on my Felt, have changed my mind about disk brakes and carbon. </p>
<p>Yes, you would need to get a different front hub...Velocity and American Classic make a convertible hub that works with a QR and will work with a thru axle. Just have to change the end caps on the hub.</p>

<p>I bought a 2014 F5X recently...now I realized that I should have waited for the 2015. The BB5 brakes will need to be upgraded since the organic pads won't survive in muddy conditions and Avid doesn't make a metallic pad for the BB5. So, I'm looking at upgrading to either BB7 or the TRP Spyre's. And I may upgrade the fork to a thru axle; should help to stiffen the front end, as far as braking is concerned. Less chance of the rotor rubbing the pads.</p>
