Hi

I have [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/easton-haven-mtb-wheelset/rp-prod113733 ]these wheels on a 135 rear but need to convert to 142 for a new bike[/url].

When I contacted Silverfish, the UK Easton distributor, they seemed to think I'd need a new axle (which Easton no longer make) but from looking at[url= http://www.jensonusa.com/!VJP2mc4kCy7WtEh27uq!5Q!/Easton-Hub-Conversion-Axle? ] the diagram on this page [/url]it seems that I only need the end caps.

Am I missing something or are silverfish giving me a bum steer?

Thanks

A

Depends on how old they are, apparently: http://forums.mtbr.com/wheels-tires/how-determine-2010-2011-easton-haven-rear-748094.html

Thanks - it is the 121 (newer) version... I guess I need to find a dealer to check if I actually need the axle as well as the end caps. I'm still not seeing a completely clear answer.

I did this a few years ago and sure I changed the axle. Take the end caps off and see if a 12mm axle will fit through.

thanks - just had a different reply from Silverfish on their web form. I don't have the QR axle so apparently I will be good with just end caps. Phew ๐Ÿ™‚
