Hi
Quick question. I’ve been offered a DT Swiss rear hub 240s which is 150 x12.
Can I change the end caps to convert it to 135 QR?
I’ve tried looking through the DT website but I’m struggling to confirm if it will downsize or not.
Appreciate any help
Andy

    Hmm, usually rear 12 x 142 or x 148 for boost.

    If end caps are not available, search on eBay as there appears to be an adapter, effectively a hollow axle, that fits inside the tube.

    see item 162969127724

    Note if the rear wheel is boost but your frame is not, then it may not fit or else you'll have issues with the brake disc rotor aligning with the calliper.

    Cheers for replying.
    Been informed since that you can't downsize a 150mm...pity
