Superstar Comp - Switch Ultra converter 10*135 mm alternative?

Lui_DK · February 2016

Hi folks,
Need some help here. I am looking for the 10*135 thru axle converter for Superstar Components Switch Ultra rear hub: http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/s ... daptor.htm

But alas! - It's sold out and Superstar Components don't know when its' gonna be back in stock.

So - apparently the switch ultra hub is made by Joy-Tech. Novatec is also made by Joy-Tec, and I hope to find the converter there instead.

Any experience out there? Do you know which Novatec converter to use?

Cheers

-Lui

To clarify, the Superstar hubs are Novatech, its Novatech's cheapest parts that are branded (touch or irony I think) as Joytech.

I have the same hubs, the adaptor is a simple screw in end section.

Which hubs? SC or Novatec? In case you have the Novatec - which model number is it?

I was wondering if it possible to source the converter at Novatec : http://www.eshop.novatecwheels.eu/categ ... or-d882sb/

you'll be able to find a novatec 4in1 10mm adaptor online (probably from germany or poland)

The rear requires 17mm cone spaners to fit. I had them on Lewis's old wheels.

hubs are 881 front and 882 rear

Thx a lot!

So what I'm looking for is this: http://www.bdopcycling.com/Wheel%20Part ... D882SB.asp ??

If so, I'll check Germany, Poland, Ebay etc.

I have both the same SS hubs as that and a Novatech 772.

772 are not the same as superstar switch ultra hubs.

Did some more research based on the help given here

http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomme ... did=176301

Apparently Spank Spoon, Octane One Orbital and Sixpack Vice are also made by Novatec.

And Spank Spoon is available in Bike24

Pretty sure youll need this axle,

Cant seem to see the end cups but i got mine from Superstar im sure. Also SS are out of the 10MM QR's so you may need to get one from somewhere else.

That's for a traditional QR-skewer. I need the conversion axle (bodyhub) for a 10 mm thru axle QR.

Like this:

Very similar to the 12*142 axle that I got all ready with the Superstar Component wheel set - just slightly smaller in width and internal diameter.

772 are not the same as superstar switch ultra hubs.

I know, didn't say they were, I was saying I have the same Superstar hubs......

Bit of a thread revival here, don't suppose you still have the surplus 135 x 10 axle?
