Is Mavic Crossmax29 Convertable to Thru Axle Set-up?

[John Baumann]

I have a nice 1year old Mavic C29 Crossmax wheelset with Standard Quick Release Axles.

The front wheel(that I've already bent) on my brand new '13 Superfly has 15mm thru axle up front.

The question is; is it possible to make the conversion, or more importantly- is it worth it?


Thanks

The set of CM 29ers that I have is over a year old and you just need to pop out the QR adapter plugs to convert to 15mm. I would have assumed that all new models came this way but am unsure. If your wheel looks like ones in link below, then you don't have the QR adapter plugs.
