I’ve bent my front wheel out of shape. It is / was a DT Swiss 420SL. I’ve got it as true as it’ll go to last me until I’m next in the UK and bought a Pro II front wheel (QR) 2nd hand from STW.

What adapter do I need to run the wheel? What do I measure to find out if I have a 1mm, 2mm, 3mm etc front wheel?*

Here’s a photo of the current hub, in case anyone can identify its size.

Thanks

* Is it just me or are bikes becoming less and less standardised?

9mm qr?
You need to look at you forks

You appear to have a 9mm straight through QR, therefore your new wheel should just slot straight in, presumably it’ll come with a standard QR skewer.

If you want to use your DT straight through axle you’ll need a pair of these – http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope-pro-2-conversion-kit-9mm/rp-prod40654.

Although this – http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/hope-pro-2-evo-hubs-will-a-superstar-9mm-front-qr-through-axle-work would suggest if you’re handy, you can just drill out the little 9mm stubs on your new wheel

Thanks for the replies.

doc. when you say ‘look at you[r] forks’, you mean measure the diameter of the dropouts?

The new hub is a ‘standard’ (whatever that means, nowadays) QR hub. I’ll look at the conversion.

The issue is, when I’m back in the UK to get the new wheel, my bike and forks will be in Asia.
