Hey All,

I am rather new to the workshop side of cycling. Learning a lot here and starting to self-maintain my bikes. So please, Be kind :)

I recently purchased a new carbon road bike with disc brakes. The frame takes a 12mmX142 through axle skewers.

To use my bike on a turbo trainer, I would like to get an extra cheap rear wheel to use with the trainer tyre and quickly swoop the wheel for when I want to go on the road.

Now, I am struggling to find a rear wheel that takes a 12mmX142 through axle disk brake compatible for a decent price.

My question is: what options I have? Is there a converter I can use to convert the standard quick release or a hub converter?

The bike comes with this set of wheel, hence the need to get a cheap wheel for the trainer https://shop.mavic.com/en-gb/cosmic-pro-carbon-disc-rr0825.html

Thank you all

    What a better opportunity to buy a cheap hub with 12 mm TA, the cheapest rim on the market and build yourself a wheel... if it's not very good it won't matter...

    Did you have a look at the Superstar Components website? They always seem to have a lot of tat to shift in all sorts of axle formats

    I did ask them, and they have nothing available. They do have wheel building service. Asked them if they can build me one.

    if it ain't cheap, it ain't worth going that route
