i have just bought a set of Mavic Crossride wheels and ( stupidly) didn't read my bike spec properly......


I have a Giant Anthem X2 29er.... which I am told has a 135mm rear hub...... but the Maviv wheels I bought are 142mm. They were brand new, but taken off a bike that was unused as the wheels were upgraded from new.

Looking at the Mavic Web site from new it looks they would have been supplied with two different spacers from new according to whether they are going to be used as 135 or 142??

Mine have a red bush fitted each side which I have removed..... so now I need to track down the bushes ( which I believe are grey? ) so that I can fit the wheels?

So..... does anyone have any of the correct bushes ( presumably spare if they were using the red 142 bushes! ? ) or can point me in the direction of anyone who may stock the bushes?

And also the converter to 9mm QR???

    Tried a Mavic dealer?

    I have some 135mm Mavic bits that came out a broken hub (everything except the hub body and the freehub), PM me as a reminder and I'll see if I've got anything that fits the description.
