We've been looking at quick release wheels but that's not what's in the picture..
Okay so you've got solid threaded axle on your wheel... and some type of shaped washer to secure the axle inside your weird dropout? I suppose a QR hub would still work, if the threaded axle is 9mm so the washers will fit. If the washers are for a 9.6mm axle then it'll be a complete sloppy pain to put the wheel in straight and centred and then get it to stay there under braking and impacts enough to never be out of alignment with the disc brake.
The parts need to be a correct fit and although the proper Shimano QR skewers have plenty of strength to hold the wheels and the nubs on the hubs are simply locators for setting up the bike, those locators really need to make it easy not hard to get the wheel hub in straight and centred.
I'm only guessing because you did not say anything about the way your axle is mounted in the fork, or say the measurements of parts, or what parts you have like this shim-washer I've just assumed the existence of because of the shape of the dropout.
The QR wheels are 9mm, not 10mm or 9.6mm. This really matters if you're going to do it up with a disc brake and a 2-stroke motor. How wide is that hole in your fork, and the other hole in the presumed shim, and the axle?
You can probably use a 24" wheel in the front too. It'll probably make the handling better. Buying a brand new wheel in 24" with a disc brake and brand name stainless spokes with about fifty Ā£/$/ā¬ is probably not even possible though.
I would be looking for something that originally cost two or three or four times more than the wheels you're looking at. And looking into the shim situation.
