Thru to QR conversion
Hi All, I picked up a set of Oval 327CX Disc wheels which I'd like to put on my Specialized Diverge. The front is no problem at all, both the wheel and the bike use 12mm thru-axle.
The rear is a problem as the bike has:
135mm QR
But the wheel has:
142mm/12mm thru-axle
I did some searching for adapters and converters but there is a bewildering spectrum of pieces and parts and I'm not totally sure what I'm needing here. First of all the axle is too long but it extends quite a distance beyond where I believe it needs to in order to work right. So is there a replacement axle of some sort that I can get that will work here? I suppose I could grind down the end pieces (not sure that's the right name) and cut part of the axle out but that seems messy and I'd like to find the right pieces to just make this drop-in. Probably going to need a 12mm to QR adapter but that won't work until I get this width problem resolved.
Thanks in advance! This is my first foray into thru-axle mechanics. Hoping to learn something new here.
