i've got an old dt swiss 340 rear hub, 135x10 thru axle. anyone know if it can be converted to 142x12? all the conversion kits I've seen so are don't list this hub as compatible.

the ID on the axle sleeve is ~10.5mm, so it would need end caps + axle sleeve for it to work.

I will look when I get home.


I think I can help.

I used to have one of those old 340s, w/the 240 ratchet mech.

Yeah, thought i had a second inner axle, I don't, only end caps for a 15 inner axle and a xd driver conversion.

i hate to ask you to have to pull a hub apart. if you already had it apart that'd be one thing.

i just remembered i have a 350 on my other bike, but its a 148 hub. the diameter of the sleeve matches. ~15. both use 6902 bearings.

If you get the axle and it fits, if you want my end caps and xd driver end caps let me know, cost is just shipping.

what etailer is that? i think at that price its a cheap experiment.

i run HG still, your end caps wouldn't work. those are also inexpensive.

given that it has a qbp # and minimum advertised price I think that's the back end QBP interface
