• That sounds doable. Would they need to be specific to the hub? I’m thinking SON or SP dynamo. Can’t see 15 to 12 end caps made by them.

    To clarify, I think I may need to switch between carbon and steel forks for touring, so would like one hub to fit 15mm carbon and 12mm steel forks.

  • As far as I know neither SON nor SP do 15mm to 12mm end caps for conversion only a QR converter. There is a Taiwanese company making a dynamo hub that looks identical to the SP that can be converted but I forget the name, check the cycling about.com article about dynamo hubs. Also why not just go for a 12mm axle carbon fork?

    Edit: The dynamo hub is made by K-T although there doesn’t seem to be many reviews out there yet.

  • I have a KT dyno hub, got 2 years of good miles on it, all good so far. SP I had before the KT was getting loose by this stage (cursed it now haven't I..).

  • 15 -> 12mm is just a sleeve that goes into the hub you can get from all over the place (think mine was off ebay). The SP TA->QR converter is a little bit funkier with machined high and low bits presumably for where the bearings are at.
