I bought a new set of DT Swiss wheels with Centerlock 350 hubs. The seller told me they were 100/135 12/13mm throughbolts and I could easily get a set of end caps to fit QRs or normal size through axles. The rear turned out to be 142.
Am I hosed? It's really difficult to ferret out which end caps to buy on the DT site.

...and yes, I need a campy freehub.

i could be wrong but you probably cant convert to 12mm T-A with a campy freehub, because of the smaller diameter of the end cap required for campy.

just a guess...

you can however probably convert em to 135 QR...MAYBE

campy is where things get confusing.

if you are running campy11 though, you might be ok.
in that case, I would recommend converting the whole shebang to 11-speed shimano/sram with a 142x12 end cap arrangement.
then just use sram/shimano cassettes instead of campy.
this will also GREATLY increase the re-sale value/ease of the wheels down the road.

I don't quite see what you want to do, go to 10mm QR? That is possible on anything they make TA as far as I know.

I built a Campy EPS disc brake bike with thru-axles a few years back. Going by memory, I had to make a custom drive side end cap, as the end cap for Campy freehub from DT was either shadower or deeper than the Shimano's version. Perhaps now that Campy is into the disc brake/thru axle game, DT might have a thru-axle end cap specifically for the Campy free-hub.

So it’s shimano 142/12mm TA now? I think all you need is the Campagnolo FHB.

But ask this guy.
