I'm hoping to get a replacement for a knacked hub back from CK, but have just realised that my wheel jig is only for regular hubs. In the past I've had Hope 20mm hubs that are convertible, but not so this time. Is there a specific tool for the job? I see there is a DTSwiss one ... does this work?
Thanks
Yes you can get some machined red 20mm end cap things that fit into a jig, no idea where we got our from mind, doesn't really help, but they do exist!
Roger Musson's book says to use two big ball bearings. Don't know where you'd get those from either!
You can stick an 8mm allen key thru the axle and into the jig usually.
DT Swiss make plastic plugs which fit into the hub so you can fit it into a wheel jig. They are about £4 for the pair.
Mister P ... that's the ones I was looking at. They work with any 20mm hub then, not just DT ones?
Many thanks all BTW.
