• It is odd that novatec don't do converters for them to get them working in the same was as Hope Pro 2s though. The axle seems kinda pointless when you could plug in some QR converters directly into the bearing, like Pro 2s.

  • You can swap the end caps on Novatec's more recent D771SB '3 in 1' front hubs easily enough. No idea if those ones would work?

    Still, the ENVE fork will already be pretty darned stiff and I'm not sure that you'd see much benefit of a thru-axle on a CX course.
