My switch hubs appear to be capable of using a 10mm rear axle, my 29er frame is an ordinary open drop out currently using standard qr.

If i get the superstar 135x10mm adapters can i then use something like the DT RWS thru bolt?

Are the RWS any good, worth it on the rear? any other options to consider?

I've never really been interested in thru axles until i got a 15mm axle on the fork, which defiantly noticeable improvement.

You'll be fine to use the DT skewer. I've got switich hubs and have the [url= http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/ultralight-alloy-10mm-rear-qr-through-axle.htm ]Superstar Ultralight axle[/url] which works great.

Got the standard superstar one and it's been faultless. It's red.
