    im wondering does such thing as this exist - a disc wheel that is easily switchable between track spacing and road spacing.

    from memory i think Corima used to do something, but cant find any information.

    Any info welcome

    The Pro lite Padova is swappable form track to road use

    They do not seem to be listed for sale in the usual places but a UK company sells rebaged versions under the quest brand

    Easy to do with a Zipp 900. Separate track axle can be bought and they are a doddle to switch over

    If you are interested in a cheaper option or find it difficult to source a new Pro-Lite, I reckon I have a Prolite Padova disc stuck in the attic back in the parents house. There is probably less than 15 miles total on it (Warm Up + 10mile TT) and i should also have the conversion kit in a bag somewhere.

    Only caveat is that I am nearly certain there is a 10 speed shimano freehub body and it will be nearly 2 weeks before I can get down to the homeplace.

    Thats not a huge caveat... 10 to 11 speed cassettes are easily available.. and you can machine 1mm or so off the back of an Ultegra cassette if push comes to shove.

    Sounds good - what sort of money would you be looking for it?

    @quigs any more info on the 10-11 cassettes? (i know I should google it.... :))

    Look up edco cassettes.

    Also look up converting 10 speed wheels to 11 by milling either the freehub carrier (does not work on all).. or ultegra cassette (cant be dura ace because the carrier is carbon not metal)

    Apologies I missed this question earlier.

    Depending on the condition i would probably be looking at somewhere between €350-400 but as i said earlier, i may not get the chance to get back home this side of Christmas
