I currently have a pair of Aksium disc Allroad CL (622 x 17) that have through axles of the following dimensions:

Front: 12 x 125mm
Rear: 12 x 170mm

I've been offered some Ksyrium Pro disc (2016 spec: 622 x 15) at a great price (£350) and they look to be ideal for my summer wheels and then i'd keep the Aksium for winter.

All looks except i'm not 100% sure about the through compatibility as the Ksyriums are currently:

Front: 9 x 100mm
Rear: 10 x 135mm

Are the Ksyriums likely to have sleeves that i can remove to achieve the 12mm and what about the length difference ?

Sorry but i'm new to through axles

    Presuming you meant your current rear axle is 12 x 142mm and not some weird size i’ve Never heard of then yes. Same for your front wheel, should be 12 x 100mm.
    The 2016 spec wheels have replaceable end caps.p on 360 instant drive hubs.
    Check any Mavic dealer and they should be able to sort you out. I got my adaptors for my Cosmic Disc wheels from Evans Cycles online, went from 9 x 100 and 9 x 135 to 12 x 100 and 12 x 142 easily enough.

    Thanks for that.

    Concerning the current TA sizes on my bike, they are printed on with the sizes i mentioned and they measure up to that length so i'm a bit confused as to how a 12 x 125mm (printed and measured) is called a 12 x 100mm unless the naming refers to the distance between the frame which could easily be 12.50mm of threaded axle into the drop outs, then it would make sense. Does anyone know if my thinking is correct ?

    And that's good to know about the adaptors, seems like i can make them fit, assuming the axle length is as mentioned the standard 100 and 142mm respectively.
