Thru axial on a gravel bike

[kingspirit]

Hi All,

I suppose most standard and common thru axial size on gravels bikes is 12x100mm front wheel and 142x12mm back wheel.

But some gravel bikes (Focus Atlas for example) has 110x12mm front and 148x12mm back.

What is the advantages and disadvantages of this oversized thru axial? Could be problematic to fit the new wheels?
Cheers

The 110 thro axle and new wheels, Mavic supplied QR adapters with the bolt thro gravel wheels, you might get push in spacers with the latest gravel wheels, an easy way to cater for newer forks with wider spacing.
