Rear wheel axle sizes

Wiggy · 2017-03-01T22:04:17+00:00

My existing wheel has a 9x135 qr on the rear end, I want to change the back wheel to a DT Swiss R23 spline DB. The problem is the nearest converter they supply is a 10x135 which they say is for a through axle, will this fit my bike?

Seeing as nobody else has

Seeing as nobody else has replied I chuck my 2p in. The answer is going to be no. The drop-outs on through axle bikes are totally different to conventional quick-release drop-outs. Instead of an inverted U-shaped recess on each side like a conventional Q/R, one side will have a smooth walled hole and the other side will have a threaded hole.
