Hi all,

My current bike has the following non-boost front hub:

Formula DC71 32h 100mm

I want to upgrade my rigid forks with some SIDs sized as follows:

Tapered - Maxle Stealth - 15x110mm

Instead of buying a whole new wheel, I understand I can buy these to convert:

But I'm confused, which size should I get? 110mm is the length of the axel and 15mm is the width?

If anyone can enlighten me, that would be great 🙂

Cheers,

FM

Size options are for axle diameter, 15mm are for front, 12mm for the rear.

110mm is the spacing between the fork legs, yours currently is 100, so you need 2x5mm spacers..

But you also need the ring for the rotor and longer bolts..

Like this.
