Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 11, 2016 Share Much stiffer rear end, less flex. Tracks a line much better too. Also allows you to use a better quality hub.Those were my reasons anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbride Posted March 11, 2016 Share Can this conversion be done on the 29er Anthem X1 2014? Running Wide Lightnings with the QR setup, which I take it will also need to be converted with some sort of kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawbs Posted March 11, 2016 Share if the rear hub is disc 225 then i believe it can be adapted to 12mm.

cdevil Posted March 14, 2016 Share Hi guys, I've got a 2015 Giant Trance 2. Is it possible to convert to rear through axle with the stock Giant Tracker Sport rear hub? I've called around and have been told by some its just different inserts on the hub whilst others say the hubs are not compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted March 14, 2016 Share Hi guys, I've got a 2015 Giant Trance 2. Is it possible to convert to rear through axle with the stock Giant Tracker Sport rear hub? I've called around and have been told by some its just different inserts on the hub whilst others say the hubs are not compatible? More than likely the parts will not be available to do this. So you will need a new rear hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 14, 2016 Share New hub yes, standard one is the old cone and cup arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdevil Posted March 15, 2016 Share Thanks! Any suggestions for a new rear hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 15, 2016 Share Cheap option would be a Novatec, otherwise your wallet would have the final say.I know Wayne at Rapide does a good hub for a reasonable price.Trawl the classifieds, I bought a complete 26inch wheelset and scavenged the hubs. Ended up costing me R100 for a SLX front and Superstar evo rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich990 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Reviving a thread here. Just did this on my trance, ended up using the shimano axle mentioned on the first page. Wanted the giant / dt Swiss axle, but the shimano one does the job. It was 800 bux from mike's bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
