12*100 to 15*100 thru axle
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!

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.0 -

But the inside of the hub is also 12mm? Feels like I need s whole new hub...?0 -
This is how it Looks without the endcap.0 -
Assume you’ve tried fitting the 15mm axle through there?0

Yeah doesn't work0

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 ....0

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.wahla21 said:

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!0
