BlackSnow Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Hi hubbers. So here is the story. I bought a bike from a fellow hubbers and the bike is great. I changed my fork and need to change my front hub to accomodate the "new" qr fork. The problem is I have no idea what brand/make this hub is. I suspect it could be a DT swiss but not sure. I googled 100000 search terms to try find some answers but no luck. Will the hubbers from hubland be able to assist? Pic attached
BenReaper Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 That is a 'Syncros' hub of a Scott.If it is on a higher end Scott then it should be a 'sealed bearing' hub in wich case it will be DT Swiss rebranded as Syncros.If it is of a lower end bike it will have roller bearings and it will likely be some Chinese mass production hub rebranded as Syncros.Best bet would probably be to change it to a Shimano hub,rather cheap and hasslefree.
madbradd Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Was also thinking Syncros. Looks like a centerlock rotor - possibly a rebranded shimano hub if it's low end? If it's a DT swiss you should easily get adapters for it.
BlackSnow Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 Yes it might be Scott rebranded. It came with a Scott Spark
PeterF Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Before you change the hub check with your lbs if they can get you some end caps to convert the hub to QR.
V12man Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Before you change the hub check with your lbs if they can get you some end caps to convert the hub to QR.I think I have a set - give me a day or two to check.
BlackSnow Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 I think I have a set - give me a day or two to check.Thanks V12man.
V12man Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks V12man.Struggled to find this thread again - I do have a DT Swiss set - new and unused - not 100% on if they will fit, but they do fit the wheels from a 2012 Scott Spark Pro 29er - and I think the hubs are the same. Sorry for the fuzzy picture.
