I've got a set of Novatec D771/D772sb hubs that are currently QR/135 and need to convert to 15mm/142x12. I can get hold of end caps to convert them from China but the postage time is over a month.
You can get end caps/adpators from Superstar for the above hubs though (one model of end cap fits all three tyres of Switch hub). And I'm wondering if they'll fit, I'm fairly certain they would but if anyone has any specific experience/knowledge that would be great.
I think Novotec D882 is the rear one.
Switch hubs are 881 front, 882 rear. I've got loads of 142x12 rear axles spare if you want to swap one for your rear 135?
There's a novatec "shop" in eastern/central europe somewhere (found easily by googling IIRR)
helpful with advice and pretty rapid delivery when I needed some end caps a while back
@kayla1 - Ideally I want to keep hold of the 135 axle in case the wheels go on another bike. Would you be open to me buying an axle off you?
@scaredypants - my Google skills are letting me down, I don't suppose you have a link?
Yeah, no bother. Email (in my profile) me your address and I'll bung one in the post. No charge, just spread some good karma please.
Excellent kayla, really appreciate that. I'll send you an email over now.
Edit: Email sent
Ah, maybe not then: http://www.eshop.novatecwheels.eu/en/ but not that promising when you follow the link

(If you can find them and still need the parts, delivery took 3-4 days)
Thanks scaredypants, that's very helpful! I'll keep an eye on that site after the 26th and drop Anton an email if that doesn't work.
