Torque caps

[ccrdave]

For those that upgraded to fox forks on expert and below models is there a replacement kit for the torque caps on the roval front hub?

You don't need the torque caps. It's just optional on the Rockshox fork.

yes I know but on the specialised front hub the torque caps are machined on to the axle end caps. I need to replace the end caps with non torque ones and I cant find any!!

On my Roval Carbon 29ers with DT Swiss 350 hubs I got 2 sets of end caps together with them, 1 set without torque caps and 1 set with them. I got it directly from Specialized when we sorted my issue with the the 29" wheels on my 2018 Levo. Depending on your brand of hubs they must be out there somehow, have you asked Specialized directly?

Are you sure? I replaced my Sektor with a Fox 36. Just removed the torque caps from the hub, put them to one side, and fit my wheel onto the 36 fork. I have the base model Levo btw.

Hmm very interesting my caps are deffo machined into the end caps. I know the normal sram ones just pull off but these don't. Is your front hub a roval hub? My wife has the levo expert amd hers is the same torque caps machined in

According to the specification on the Spesh Concept Store website every Levo but the S-Works should have Specialized sealed cartridge bearings, 15x110mm thru-axle, 28h. The Roval hubs should only be on the S-Works.

well my entry level has the basic spesh hub but my wifes expert has a roval front hub but the end caps on both hubs are the same, the torque cap is machined into the end cap.
I spoke to Berkshire cycles and they are trying to get me some

Any news on this?

same problem here. changing my yari to a fox38. lbs says that will machine the existing torque caps but would prefer a specific cap.

I just went through this with my 2021 base model Levo that came with the Rockshox 35 when attempting to upgrade the fork. I got ahold of Specialized and they confirmed you will need part # S205900002

I got lucky cause my torque caps were two piece with only needed to remove the outer piece.
