How much is the 12mm bolt thru axle conversion inc axle for a Yeti sb66?

Cheers John.

Check Yeti fan site. Not sure exactly - not cheap though.

It's about £50 for the dropout kit. Doesn't come with an axle so you'll need to get one of them separately- which are normally around £35 for a shimano one.

Yetifan's selling them as a complete kit for £82.99, which as good a deal as you're likely to get on them. And he does free shipping for that money!
IMO, it's the best site to get Yeti stuff from.

Yeah, as above. I paid £80 for mine with the Shimano axle, from my local shop (the Bike Tree, Sheffield).

Yetifan have a UK shop, I'm sure they're also on ebay but I can't seem to find it now. Might be worth sending them an email - website looks old and possibly inactive but they were active on ebay until quite recently.

Obviously you'll need to convert your hub too. All in all, not cheap. I'm not sure the stiffness advantage is necessarily worth the cost (the back end of the ASR-5 is already pretty stiff, I've not ridden an SB66), although I prefer the chunky axle to standard QR for ease of use anyway.

EDIT: Too slow...
