FOUND - Banshee Spitfire Gen 1 135x10 dropouts

[trailstar]

Item: Looking at getting a Banshee Spitfire frame and trying to decide whether to run the 26" wheels I have already got or get a set that are 142x12. I'm currently looking at a 26" set that are the right spacing but just wanted to see if anyone has any 135x10 dropouts that'll suit a Gen 1 Spitfire sitting around collecting dust.
Location: Newcastle, but willing to pay postage
Item Condition: Decent, straight
Price and price conditions: Tell me what you want for them, within reason

I haven’t seen 135x10 thru axle, do you mean QR?

Not exactly sure how the Banshee set up goes but the hub I have has a 10mm QR axle.

Yeah they’d be 10mm dropouts. No “through axle” as such, either QR or bolt up.

135 x 10 Gen 1 dropouts exist, I've never seen them though.View attachment Spitfire(1).pdf

Cool story bro.

No worries @trailstar, I’m going to nitpick for once and say that I believe that QR dropouts are actually 9/16”, so I just wanted to clarify.
For a regular skewer, not a 10mm thru axle?

Banshee still has them for sale in the US:

[moorey]

Cheaper than expected...but I guess with currency conversion, GST and shipping, it adds up.
I have a set, but not with all those extras. You’ll need a hanger, I assume, but re-using current beans, bolts etc?

Here’s a pic of my axle and hub to show you what I mean. It’s the same dimensions as your normal QR, just a stiffer set up I guess and fits into a regular QR dropout. I’ve never mentioned anything about a thru axle.

@moorey the bike already has two sets of dropouts (142x12 and 150x12 for 650b) so I believe it has the right bolts and bits to fit your dropouts. Would you want to part with your dropouts?

I haven’t had a dually since someone bought my white and grey Chumba XCL frame off me....

I'm clueless when it comes to Banshees but I ran the same axle (135x 10mm) on 2 previous bikes -09 & 12 575s- and it just slotted into the same 9mm QR hanger, not sure if this relates to Banshees but it is probably a simple solution and I reckon Moorey's nailed it up there^^.

That will slot straight into moorey's dropouts.

You are correct. My bad. An actual 10mm thru axle, and yes, that would fit.
I have held them incase I ever wanted to run them again. I won’t. Chuck me a message.
Your bolts and chips will cross over into these.
That sweet Chumba is still with me, though currently having a break.
