Thru axle end caps
« on: 04 July, 2020, 03:29:07 pm »
I've got a set of these wheels https://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-wheels/kinesis-crosslight-cx-disc-hd-clincher-wheelset-black-shimano/11192091.html which have been leftover from the death of my Kinesis bike.

These can apparently be converted to thru axle which would be good as i could use them as a spare set for my new bike which is a thru axle set up, they show different end caps which were supposed to come with the wheels, which I either didn't get or have lost. The parts can been seen in the above product link.

I've tried contacting the the supplier only to be told that they're not available any more but i thought these were the right ones https://www.upgradebikes.co.uk/Catalogue/Axles/Kinesis/Crosslight-Disc-V4-Axle-Converters but they only do V4 Wheels !

Is it possible to get an aftermarket option or a generic fit set from elsewhere?

The caps just need to have the right internal and external diameters and width. That should not be that difficult to measure. Those answers should point you in the right direction.
