I have some 2017 Yari forks and DT swiss hubs, the forks are designed to use torque caps in the dropouts which the DT swiss hub has, will a hope hub be okay in there without these caps?

Sorry bit of a silly question

Will be fine, just makes fitting the wheel a bit slower.

Yes it is absolutely fine but Hope do torque caps for their hubs and it makes it easier to poke the axle in (and gives you the benefit of awesome stiffness etc)

Hope hubs are fine and a minor PITA, as above, although you can get 15mm Torque Cap adaptors from Hope.

Edit...too slow

Hope adapters well worth the money. Makes getting the front wheel back in much easier.

HUB485 will do 100mm and boost hubs, HUB486 will do 100mm hubs for boost forks

I have the same fork and bought torque end caps for my Hope Pro 4 hubs. The make fitting easier as everything is lined up properly.

£17.50 from CRC.

Ignore the bit in the description that says they are for 15x110 boost hubs only. They are for non-boost, 100mm hubs as well.
