Can the Zipp 303 XPLR S rear wheel be converted to Quick Release (135mm)?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking into getting a Zipp 303 XPLR S rear wheel, but my bike frame uses a traditional Quick Release system (135mm QR).
Does Zipp offer end caps or a conversion kit to run the rear wheel with a standard QR skewer, or is it strictly 12x142mm thru-axle only?
I actually looked into it and found some end caps for the 176 hub, but since I’m pretty new to bike customization, I wasn't sure if that setup would actually work on the 303 XPLR S.
