Didn't really want to start a thread just to ask this and figured this seems like the best place.
I don't really know a whole lot about steel frame fabrication other than steel can be repaired quite easily.
So my question is this: Say I hypothetically have a very nice steel frame with 135 qr disc drop outs, if I really really wanted to, would it be possible to convert the frame to 142 thru axle drop outs?
Is it feasible? Would it require what would effectively be a whole new rear end? Seat stays and chain stays would need replaced to?
Anyone done this before?
