12*100 to 15*100 thru axle

wahla21

Hoping someone can help.

I have a pair of wheels which has 12mm thru axle.
I want to fit them on another bike I have but that bike has 15*100 at the front.
What do I need in order for this to work? Is it even possible?
I can't use the existing 15mm thru axle as it won't fit the 12mm hubs...

Appreciate any help!

What wheels are they?

Giant SLR-0 with dt Hubs

You need the adapters for your hub, these are probably the ones:

Might want to check you didn't get any with the wheels/bike.

Thanks

But the inside of the hub is also 12mm? Feels like I need s whole new hub...?

This is how it Looks without the endcap.

Assume you’ve tried fitting the 15mm axle through there?

wahla21

Yeah doesn't work

Would something like this work? 12mm thru axle to 15mm fork. You’d need a 12mm thru axle too of course

Doubt they'll fit my hub which is DTSwiss/Giant ....

Interesting. You might be out of luck - is that metal tube in the middle replaceable perhaps? It's too thick to be a 15mm to 12mm adapter.

Other option is this guy is just starting production on adapters to convert forks from 15mm to 12mm thru:

Yeah I think it looks like I need to change hubs or just get another front wheel.

Thanks for all the comments!
