I'm looking to buy a set of these for my youngest son's forthcoming birthday

https://www.dtswiss.com/Wheels/Road-Wheels/R-24-Spline-db

Due to a disability he rides a standard MTB set up (steel Dialled Bikes 720 Prince Albert) with disc brakes and road wheels. But he's strong and climbs proper mountains with me (that's him in the blue top down there)

I notice that these wheels have 15mm front axle and 12mm rear. Will these fit into the front fork (rock shox revelation) and rear drop outs or not? Do I have to buy an adapter or am i better off just looking at something else?

If you're using road wheels then I'm assuming you have a QR front axle at the moment. The rear will also be QR on a Prince Albert. However, I'm pretty sure you can get QR adapters for most DT Swiss hubs, but worth checking first.

The link suggests that they come with QR end caps.

Ask the retailer though.

Nice b'day pressie.

They come in 100x15 front and 142x12 rear but adaptors for Q/R 100 front and 135 rear are included in the box. I think they have adaptors for the new 100x12 road disc standard as well.

So in short they will fit most 'normal' mtbs and disc road bikes.

Give Madison a buzz if you want to check.
