  • 12mm thru axle front limited options.

    I'm looking for some help concerning replacement wheels,but the front wheel problems it's 12mmx100mm
    thru axle, but drop out talas forks. can't find a wheel .!! All or most r 15mm compatible hub.
    I'm even thinking of having a spacer/shim made to convert 12mm axle to a 15mm hub with a local
    engineering company from alloy.
    if anyone can help? but I don't have a lot of money to throw at this problem.

                              +1 to what Phil said, the DT Swiss on my old spesh were not very strong. Superstars all the way for cheap, strong wheels, plus if you get the switch hubs, you can transfer them to newer bikes and different forks with some adapters
