Quagga Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 With a preload adjuster the end cap would sit slightly further out yes? Maybe i'm just missing that. The endcap does not turn and the rotor does so I am not sure what D I D is saying there. Is that thread not in the disk? Looks like the disk is compatible with center lock and 6 boltd?
Quagga Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Your wheel endcap has been "modified" This is what it should look like NOT this

Looks like the disk is compatible with center lock and 6 boltd? Some preload adjusters have a threaded seal that fits into the hub to create a labyrinth seal. The adjuster mechanism itself would usually sit on the axle but as you're confused I realise that theres no thread on the axle so its not that. Simple case of damaged or incorrect endcap.

OK, hard to see but whole wheel is a bit off centre towards the brake side.Looking the pic of the off centre wheel and the clearly modified endcap...this hub/wheel was either made to fit a boost fork previously or its a boost hub/cap ground down so it would fit a non boost fork. Either way it would explain that 5mm ish offset.
sirmoun10goat Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 That end cap has defiantly been sanded down. These are the originals.To my knowledge Roval have never had a hub with threaded end caps. So either it's not an original Roval hub or it's an old hub that is no designed to be TA compatible. image.jpg if it not designed to be thru axle compatible, how does the thru axle fit in the hub? Easy to change from small diameter axle to large, not so easy the other way round

Easy to change from small diameter axle to large, not so easy the other way roundNot sure what you mean The wheel was designed for TA. only the end caps change to fit QR It is easier to take a 15mmTA, change end caps and put it on a QR fork. Not easy to go other way round

MORNE Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Those end cap numbers are not for boost.Then its a boost hub with a ground down non-boost endcap so it could fit a nonboost fork?.This ‘issue’ is easily replicated with the older 20mm TA nonboost forks. The 20mm hubs and subsequent fork spacing are actually also 110mm...but the disk mounts sit where they normally would on a 100mm one. I tested this on a 20mm TA 26” Lyrik i had and a new boost Hope pro4 hub. It would fit in there perfectly if not for the 15 vs 20mm TA. The disk will just catch on the fork on the boost hub. Thats why i think this has to then be a boost hub with endcaps ground down to fit 100mm.

Not easy to go other way roundThat’s just what I was saying, think my comment may not have been clear. But yes, easier to convert thru axil to qr given the internal diameter of the they axle hub can accommodate a tiny qr axle with the correct adapter
sirmoun10goat Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 a.jpgI think eddy has a point, that rotor is not sitting flush against the hub, and it should. I don’t think the hubs are boost, and OP did say they were non-boost.
Dicky DQ Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 OK, hard to see but whole wheel is a bit off centre towards the brake side.There was definitely some filing going on there. You can see from the picture that the wheel is not in the centre of the fork. So someone has done a MacGyver there. I suspect the endcap/s.

Super Sywurm Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 It seems that any problem can be solved on Bikehub, eventually... What I would have done in this situation, I would have bought a new hub. (ek sal nie so kan sukkel nie, ek wil my fiets ry!)
