I have an atomlab GI rear hub that is a 10 mm bolt on, and i am going to use it on my Banshee Scratch, which has a 12 mm thru axle. Atomlab says that the hub is convertable, and they sell adapters, but on their website, it shows only the dust covers, and i would also need new bearings. Has anyone done this conversion, and do they know if the kit comes with new bearings? I emailed atomlab, but havent gotten a response yet

There is no 12mm thru-axle conversion, only a 12mm adapter for slotted dropouts. They are just little hat washers that go onto the 10mm axle.

Like he said, it's just a couple of washers with sleeves that extend out one side. 10mm on the inside, 14mm on the outside. It's a pretty common thing for BMX bikes. Your LBS might be able to dig up a set rather than waiting for some to come in the mail.
