Just got hold of a set of Hope wheels and the rear is 10mm bolt-thru (old skool, standard spacing). When I've run this setup in the past I got a 10mm QR axle from Superstar but it seems they don't do them anymore and the only other option I can find are the DT Swiss ones for £25ish. Is there anything Superstar-esque still (ie, cheap!). Even something bolt up, not particularly bothered about QR...

Threaded rod, washers and nuts?

I got some Hadley ones, but they certainly weren't cheap.

If you're feeling particularly rough you can just use an M10 nut and bolt. Stainless bolts are a couple of quid and nuts are around a quid. Bit heavier than hollow aluminium though 😕

edit- it's probs best not to use threaded bar unless you absolutely have to (or want to be extra rough 😆 ) as there's more chance of it failing along its fully-threaded length than a bolt.

Novatec 10mm axles fit.

I got mine from this guy on ebay, he didn't have a 10mm listed so I contacted him directly and he sorted me out.

Splash out on the DT ones. They are worth it.

I've got the DT RWS's on two bikes.  I love them.  Fully recommended.  I've also had the (discontinued) SuperStar 10mm.  It was a lot bigger and heavier.

OR, crazy as this is going to sound, with that being a Hope wheel, you could change the endcaps? 😉

I've just found a barely used 10mm DT RWS in my spares box...

I use the Novatec ones and think they're great.
