Are fork dropouts all the same?
Is it possible to fit a quick release front wheel onto a bike that comes with a bolt in front wheel?
Before someone says "try it", I have a spare roadbike front wheel, but I don't have the single speed YET......

pretty sure fronts are all the same, but rears have various spacing. I had to expand the steel bike rear dropouts by 15mm.

Odd query as you've counted out the only practical answer  ! We see all sorts of odd things on the Scouts bikes, for your scenario, the answer is likely most are the same but there's only one way to find out.  |

Rear spacing wise, you can usually go up a size on steel frames with no issues or cold setting. Doing that on Ali or Carbon isn't recommended.
However, I think you're talking about axle diameter which can be different. You might not get a bolted through axle onto the droputs on a frame meant for QRs.

Forks are all 100mm spacing, qr axles are 9mm dia, slightly thinner than solid 10mm ones so will fit.
