      DT Swiss ,btw i have pulled the end cap ,does it need a 6902 bearing to be able to convert to a 15 mm thru axel?
      Its a 370 9mm thru bolt hub.tnx

      Hi Michael
      Thank you for your message. First of all I have to tell you, a regular 370 hub cannot be converted into 15mm. The oppsite way is true, as we are using a different hubshell for the 15mm version.
      The make an exact identification of your hub and the possible ooptions, please get in contact with one of our service centers.
      You will find a list here to identify a service close by to you:

    For those of you who don’t want to spend $67 on the tool, get a 1 1/8” socket and a screwdriver. Works just as well and most people have these laying around. Tired of anything remotely MTB related getting marked up 10 fold

    A section of 27.2 seat post can be used instead of that fancy tool. Thank you Block Bikes (PDX) for finding this hack! BTW, even when properly installed, the end caps will be loose and rattle. The thru axle will tight that up when the wheel’s on the bike and the load will be born by the bearings, not the caps.

    You can use some sockets and an old 15mm axle or a wooden dowell to work on these hubs instead of paying for the tools.

  • @BenParman
    @BenParman 6 місяців тому

    You can use the end of your thru-axle to remove the end caps, and reinstall the lock rings with a rubber mallet and a socket that that fits over the end caps. No need to waste your money and clutter your tool box with that special tool.

    The axle works as a removal tool and a deeper-than-average plastic bottle cap can work as the installation tool, in a pinch.

    I need to conver my 350 hub from RS Pike to Fox 36 (2023 model). What end caps should I use for the Fox 36 fork? These from Rockshox are quite too big, these which I got with my hubs as stock end caps are just a bit too big. Would be greatful for some info what to use for Fox 36.

      You need to change torque caps on wheels to normal end cups then you can use it on both forks. Only on torque cap fork is little bit harder to align axle to hub, but during riding you wont notice diference.

      Hi wyo angel, the only wheel that could be used is the 1900 series since all others have 148mm boost axles. You could buy a 29" 12/142mm wheel and change the end caps to 5/135mm to fit your frame. Best regards, José, DT Swiss

      Of course they would say no lol yes simply Use a dowel or similar to take off the end cap. use a socket from a socket wrench to tap in the lock ring. I found 1 1/8” works best but many will work as long as it fits over the cap and presses against the lock ring.

      Hi Marcin, yes that is possible, if you change to the 5/135mm QR end caps. For 12/142mm it converts into 5/135 and for boost 12/148mm it converts into 5/141mm. Also see our Product Support page, I have selected a M1900 Spline as reference www.dtswiss.com/en/support/product-support?matnr=W0M1900NEDTSA06947 under Conversions you will find the end caps for all 1900 Spline wheels of the current version. Be aware to select the according end caps for Shimano 11s or Sram XD. Kind regards, José, DT Swiss
