If it’s what I think it is, I went 20mm I think it probably is. I've also found out that the Onyx hook flange front hub can be run in either format. Still undecided on travel though so not sure if it's the Hero or the Edge I'll be looking at.]]> Bike Forum Onzadog https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850962 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850941 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:38:27 +0000 ]]> Bike Forum dyna-ti https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850941 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850936 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:34:26 +0000 Bike Forum tomhoward https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850936 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850923 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:15:18 +0000 Bike Forum tjagain https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850923 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850917 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:04:40 +0000 Bike Forum Onzadog https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850917 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850840 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:43:31 +0000 Bike Forum honourablegeorge https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850840 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/bike-forum/wtf-are-torque-caps/#post-12850833 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:39:32 +0000 But if it turns out 15mm with torque caps is stiffer couldn’t we just have made 20mm axles with torque caps?

But not as much as having a 20mm axle. And they seem to work out heavier. Progress.
