I've just taken delivery of a lovely pair of Crank Bros Opium wheels to go on an Ibis Mojo to match the other red parts I have. Problem is I didn't know the rear hub is a 12mm Thru axle. From the brief research I've done it seems that the the Rear Axle is 150mm x 12mm whereas the Mojo is 130mm x 9mm.

Am I right in thinking they will never fit or is there some way to convert them to 9mm rear?

This would be correct.

Maybe you can return them, and see if Ibis will sell you a set of red Cobalts?

Mojo is 135mm x 10mm...this might be an important figure so you don't make two costly mistakes (130mm is road bike spacing, 9mm is front QR axle size)

do you have a sawzall?

do you have a sawzall?

For the frame or for the hub?

 

[highdelll]

I suppose either way.

For the frame or for the hub?

nope, for the lobotomy

nope, for the lobotomy

:lol:

Sorry to laugh Heeza but slow down when you're buying your pretty parts...check specs! More important than color matching....

PS "From the brief research I've done it seems that the the Rear Axle is 150mm x 12mm whereas the Mojo is 130mm x 9mm" also means you need to sharpen the research part, too.

I bet you can return these wheels.

exchange them for the iodine wheel set,

Its a 21 mm rim vs a 24, but at least it will fit

Where did you get them? If they sell one, they probably sell the other. YOu'll get screwed on shipping, but at least it could be an option.
