I can’t find any 12 mm screw in for a 240 hub would someone on here be able to machine a 20 mm alloy bar with a 12mm hole or is this not right ?
Front? No that wouldn't be right, 20mm is 110 spaced (but not boost).
Yeah, I think you can't find it because it's not really a thing. Front goes 20mm, 15mm, 9mm, rear goes 12mm, 10mm. There's some weird nonstandards but really not many.
If you do have some mad nonstandard 12mm front then probably tophats in a 20mm adaptor set will work best, rather than a massive step-down axle. But I think to help we need to know what you've got
Front , It would work the same as using a qr adapter that they do for a 135 mm they do a 15mm screw in end cap but I was looking for 12mm so I can use them on my gravel bike as well as my mtb
It’s a 20mm at present was going to use it on a 15mm gravel fork but they changed the spacing to 12 mm which looking through Dt Swiss tech page they don’t do a screw in 12 mm ,they do a spacer for qr which is probably 5mm with a spindle as I have one of them . it’s a 240 s hub just didn’t want to part with the wheels
The qr threaded end caps are just caps, no internal sleeve needed
15mm end caps with a 15od, 12id axle sleeve? Or machine the qr end caps to 12mm?
I have 240 hubs (well, spline 1) with 12mm caps. They just push in, like the 15 or QR ones do. No idea where they came from - may have been on the wheels as OE
Somewhere deep in the DT website is a list of part numbers that may help you
I think I've got a few spares for DT Swiss wheels in the garage.
PM me exactly what you're after and I'll see if I've got he right ones.
OP has threaded endcaps on a 240 OS hub. Push on won't work.
I know they have to be screw on but it amazes me that they make them for the 350 hubs but not 240
Ile look into that idea
OP has threaded endcaps on a 240 OS hub. Push on won’t work.
I was wondering that as it wasn't stated but as has been mentioned the standard 240 endcaps are pushon. I've got a 240 OS hub and had a hard enough job converting it from 20mm to 15mm. The screw on caps are a pain in the butt as they appear to be made of soft cheese.
Anyway, a quick google presents a potential solution...

Thanks for the link I will read up on it 👍
