Whilst we’re here, here’s another question: frame and firm has vertical dropouts and are QR as standard. Can I convert either the wheels or the frame to thru axle?! The QR are a little weak for the winter hammering they get...
If frame has vertical 10mm drop outs for quick release you cannot convert it to thru axle (142 x 12 or 135 x 12). You can use a slightly stiffer 10mm QR like the DT Swiss RWS system which is a bit stiffer that a normal QR, but you will need to convert the hub to take that type of skewer.
