    OMG thank you so much mate, I spent a whole night trying to figure out what I need to do to fit my new fork on my current 15x100 wheel hub!
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the instructions, also helpful for road bikes as the bike industry is going fully with built-in obsolescence, changing hubs and frame “standards”.
    I found JJBP conversion kits very helpful. Contacted wheel manufacturer’s customer service, but they rather want to sell new wheels then help you use your existing wheel sets.

    I used this same kit to put my nonboost wheel on my new fork! A little hack you can do is just tape those spacers to the hub end caps so it's much easier to get the thru-axle through everything

    I just use a small amount of gorilla tape ripped narrow enough to get em on. But I'm thinking about getting some shrink tubing to put over it. Maybe give that a try.

    nice. maybe a bit of liquid nails can attach the spacers to the hub?

    Are there kits for qr hubs or will the same kit work ?

    Other than fussing with the spacers, really no negative that I can see other than bike shop looses a new rim sale. Right!?

    Is it safe? Can the adapter kit withstand hard braking on a trail environment?

      Geez, I can't give you that council as I did not manufacture the product. BUT, it is really only a piece of metal that extends the rotor a few centimeters out, so it is not too complicated. I use it for road riding but would personally not hesitate to use on the trails.

    I think, that if you have a flat tire, the best way would be to lay the bike on the side while changing the tube so you won't lose those tiny spacers.
    You can convert the tire to tubeless if the rim lets you do that.

    What spacer kit did you use? Any differences you see with a centrelock rotor install?

      Hi, I just used a generic one from Amazon. There are plenty of options. I installed on a 6 bolt version . So, not sure about the center lock but I would guess there must be something. Good luck!

    what if brake discs are center lock type?

    • @mountainbikingfortherestofus
      @mountainbikingfortherestofus  8 месяцев назад

      Don't think they have adapter for that.

    So i guess there is no way to add a disc to a wheel, without changing the hub and respoking?
    i have seen adaptors to add a caliper, if your frame is without mounting tabs for dsc brakes.
    i could buy a new bike for the cost of disc mounted wheels for my mountain bike
    Thanks for clearing up "what these adaptors are for" , makes sense why they don't have threads in the holes.

      Right, the hub must be disc capable. 👍

    How does a large 12 mm through axle go through a non-boost will. Typically non-Bruce Willis have skewers so this is not valid.

      Your are simply 100% incorrect.
