Found a 650b 140mm Yari that states it is torque cap compatible (115mm and 100mm).
I assume this means it doesn't ship with the caps, and that said caps are limited to certain hubs, eg [url= http://www.bikegoo.co.uk/components-c8/wheels-hub-spares-c57/hope-torque-cap-hub-spacers-15mm-standard-to-boost-p1115 ]Hope's version[/url]?
Yep
The caps are part of the hub not the fork.
The fork will however still work with standard end caps.
Just makes it a tad more fiddley to fit the wheel.
I've got a boost fork running a none boost hub without the torque caps and an additional 10mm spacer just to make it even more fiddley. 🙂
I've pondered buying the Hope ones for Pro2 hubs on Rebas but haven't been able to justify the cost vs the minor inconvenience
I am weak and got fed up of the fiddle so got a pair of caps for my DT hubs. I have not however, been able to discern a noticeable decrease in anti-torque, torsional un-stiffness or steering inaccuracy.
Ok, sounds a bit of a bind unless everything marries up correctly. I would've thought disc alignment one of the bigger challenges?
Think I'll pay the extra and go non-Boost. Cheers anyway
