Mmmmmmm, transition..... 😀

Yes you can convert your rear hub with this:

[edit] In fact, it may be worth ringing hope to ask if you just need (and they can supply) the endcaps alone: with 7mm overall width difference, it would not be at all suprising if the 12mm axle is the same for both options and just the caps are wider, and you will already have the 12mm axle in your wheel if it is ready for 135x12mm.
