I have got a set of superstar wheels, mavic xm719 on switch evo hubs with 15mm front and 9mm qr rear.
Im looking at converting the rear from standard 9mm qr to 10mm bolt through.
Are these the correct parts I need:

Has anyone else done it and is it worth it?
Cheers.

ps but I have no idea about the fat QR's etc. I still get excited about standard QR.

Those are the correct parts. It made a noticable difference for me on my old Heckler, but it'd depend on whether you find your frame flexy.0

That's the parts. Make sure you get a red QR for extra speed.
I have this combination on my Trailstar. Cant say it was particularly flexy before but it certainly has a snappy back end nowLapierre Spicy 316 2012

The superstar QR thing is a bit crap TBH. I got a DT Swiss RWS 10mm one and it's much better.

Can be had cheaper than that if you shop around.0 -
on a slightly off topic note, is the superstar front 9mm oversize qr skewer any good ?0
