Hi all,

I'm pondering building up a dynamo front wheel for the commuter but ideally I'd like to be able to use it on the Sunday bike too, the only problem is that one is presently a 9mm qr and the other is a 15mm thru axle.

Does anyone know if the SP Dynamo hubs have replaceable end caps for different axle types so I wouldn't need to build up 2 completely different sets of wheels?

Cheers,
c.

not stock - you get the sp8x which is 15mm with a QR insert that sits inside the 15mm axle.

but the regular sp8 is not convertable.

word to the wise - file down the insert a bit so that when using QR your hub is held by the drop outs against the hub body rather than the QR insert - or your connector will rotate and the cable will be pulled / pulled out.
