They come with all the gubbings required, so yeah I would think. I got some last week and they are excellent wheels. Just struggling with going tubeless at the minute...

This is more of a used set, then to buy the adapters online.

Think it's 26 squid for the gubbings, check the mavic website for the product id code. PS, tubeless a doddle with a ghetto compressor and plenty of suds.

What about a 142x12 though?

crosstrail is a standard 135x12 fitment with adaptors to run 135x10 or 142x12.

in order to fit the wheel into a 142x12 you need to attach the 142 adaptors part number 329 650 01 (red extenders). If you remove them you have 135x12 then you fit the QR end caps or use the axle conversion.

Part number for the QR caps is 308 731 01

Poah - seems stupid, but how do I get the redcaps off? There's no place to set a spanner and undo them - are they just pushed in? Therefore brute force out?
