Levo Gen 2 Levo 2021 Base model fork upgrade to Ohlins - Roval wheel adaptor issues

[Bouffe]

Hi all, I have just swapped my Rockshox TK35 for a set of Ohlins RXF36 EVO's. I have an issue where the Roval wheel will not fit into the Ohlins forks. This is due to Rockshox using a Torque end cap which is a larger diameter than the Ohlins will allow to be fitted. The Rockshox end cap is approx 31mm diameter and I need something that is around 23 / 24mm diameter to fit the Ohlins forks. I have took out the axle tube and end caps, and I assume you can buy standard sized adaptor ends and axle tube to suit. Has anyone had a similar issue and do you know who would stock these ?

Good luck with that!! I suggest you just grind down the existing caps to the right diameter. If you can get them mounted on a drill it would be easy to just spin them up and use a course glass paper to do that.

Yeah, any decent specialized dealer will get you a set. Just don't take no for an answer and get an inside tech/salesperson on the phone from your shop.

I said good luck because those torque caps are not a Specialized part per se, they are part of the hub......in this case probably a formula hub.... and no one I know has managed to find any supplier including Formula themselves that stock torque caps separately let alone different sizes. It has apparently been years now that most fork manufacturers moved to the bigger diameter torque caps.

Thanks everyone for all of your advice. A quick update, I spoke to the guys at Berkshire Bikes, where I bought the Lego from and they are posting one out in tonights post. They come across this issue lots and they keep them in stock.
