Bike is an XL v10 cc, 2022. 29 front and rear.
Need to replace a smashed rear wheel.
Checked SC website which says 157mm.
Found an unused *157mm* Fortus 30 Hope wheel on eBay.
Wheel is delivered but seems to be 150mm across end caps (even though hub body says SB 157).
Realise that wheel would have originally been sold with 157mm and 150mm end caps, but I’ve only got the shorter ones. Have asked eBay seller if they have the others.
Checked online and found that the “x12” end cap should do what I want.
Then discover there’s something called “157mm DH”.
So:
1. Have I completely messed up and bought the wrong sort of 157mm rear hub?
2. If not, what’s the correct adapter to make these fit? The NDS x12 adapter doesn’t appear to “flare” in the same way as the current end cap, which would leave the bearing face exposed.. is this the best I can do or is there a different adapter?
