    My existing wheel has a 9×135 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 10×135 which they say is for a through axle, will this fit my bike?

    Won’t fit. The DT hub width

    Won’t fit. The DT hub width is 142 mm.

    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.
