Do you think these could be converted to 12mm TA? I'm mulling over putting my ENVE tubs on to disc hubs but 20h 12mm hubs are proving a challenge to find. I should probably just sell them but i feel they are worth more to me than I'd get.
I also found these on eBay, I might just take a punt for £20

Not easily. The 10mm hole is already there, enlarging it to 12mm would probably weaken it too much since the bearings are only 15mm ID. You could replace the aluminium with a steel tube, but by the time you've done that it starts becoming "because I can" rather than "because I should"

I'm sure the "12mm axle" refers to 12mm ID bearings. You'd need to take them out and fit a precision loose spacer tube to keep axle clamping loads from preloading the bearings. That sounds like an even worse idea than hacking the Wheelsmith one

Thanks, you are probably saving me from myself at this point. I should really just admit it's a bad idea, sell the ENVE wheels and use the money for some Light Bicycle rims.

We have CFD data on the end caps - it's not loads but we did measure it!
Do I spy trips on the new UCI-legal (for now😉) end caps?

A man with a lathe is on the case. It's also getting converted from QR to the usual bolt-on style in the process.
