Putting Mavic's 2014 Crossmax ST wheelset on the 2012 Specialized Epic Comp was actually very easy. But I couldn't find much information about the process or compatibility. In hindsight that might be because it's so straight forward but it definitely took some time to figure it out.
First things first, the 2014 wheels are compatible. This Epic is running the stock RockShox Reba RL 29.
You'll need to stop by your local bike shop or order a front quick release skewer, you won't need the rear quick release skewer included with the wheel set.
These adapters need to go on the front wheel. You'll lose the 9 mm (I think) RWS thru axle and switch to a standard quick release.
In the rear you'll remove the 135 mm parts included on the wheel and use the 142 mm adapters included with the wheelset.
Bottom line, everything you need to get the wheels setup is included with the wheelset, except the front quick release skewer you'll need. I bought one from my local bike shop for $10.
