Claudio Posted February 4, 2014 Share Hey all, I'm looking to change frame and want to keep all my current components. The new frame, though, has a rear spacing of 142x12 mm while my current rear hub is 135x12 mm. I was wondering if any of you know of a conversion around that can solve my dilemma? It's a Nukeproof Generator rear hub 135x12 (converted from QR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Nukeproof Generator rear hub 135x12 (converted from QR) Contact the guys from dialbikes.co.za , AFAIK they are the agents in SA Or order thishttp://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/nukeproof-syntace-conversion-kit/rp-prod65471 FYIThe Superstar Components Tesla (NOT EVO) hub has the same freehub mechanism as the Generator and they make it in STEEL, which stops cassette bite.http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=51&products_id=853 Will hopefully fit mine tonight and confirm it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li Mu Bai Posted February 4, 2014 Share Generally, the end caps on the hubs get changed out. If the 135 axle has a wide enough diameter to accommodate the 12mm thru axle, then you are ok. Otherwise this usually gets swapped out with the end caps as part of the kit. Sometimes the bearings in the hub need to change too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted February 4, 2014 Share just the endcaps changehttp://www.chainreac...it/rp-prod65471 It's just the end caps that I would need. I already converted the hub to 12mm a while ago. so this looks like the right deal. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braailegend Posted February 4, 2014 Share I also have that Nukeproof Converter, just in case I decide to get another frame (Morewood Sukuma) one day, havent used it yet though, but at that price (was cheaper) i tought I might as well just have it in my box of spares. I've heard someone say the Syntace 142 doesn't work on all 142mm frames, only on Syntace, how true this is, I dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
