Charity85 Posted January 1 Share Good day Hubbers I threw my anthem carbon 27.5 wheelset on my gravel bike, everything is compatible so far other than front hub being 15mm thru axle and my bike being 12 mm. I saw the following product https://www.velofuze.com/thru-axle/15mm-thru-axle-adapter-to-12mm-thru-axle/ can any recommend it or something similar? Do they work? Not damage the hub? Lastly anyone know where to source it locally? Thanks and happy new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and happy new year The sleeve adapter should work fine, alternatively depending on what make of hubs you have one could try and see if there are replacement end hub caps to convert from 15mm to 12mm.

swrid Posted January 1 Share Hey. I have used 9mm sleeve in the past and they work ok but would suggest getting adaptors. Giant hubs are normally DT swiss so you just need new end caps https://evobikes.co.za/product/dt-swiss-fw-adapter-kit-12-100mm-350-spline-r-spline/ Good luck - can be a puzzle solving the end cap situation but LBS should be able to assist Charity85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham W Posted January 2 Share I've had a few of these done .my machine shop makes a new sleeve to fit the original bearings and modify the end caps. Quite easily done Charity85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember what brand they are, I ended up buying them in Canada and having a friend bring them over. Super simple and easy solution.

Jewbacca Posted January 4 Share An engineering shop will make one for you quickly and easily. I have, in the past, used an alu pipe with a 15mm OD and 1,5mm wall thickness. Cut, file and off you go. I couldn't find any locally so made my own Charity85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
