Wanting to buy a wheelest for my first TA frameset (Endpoint H/G) with 12 x 142 rear Paragon drops with M12x1.0 thread and am only now realizing all the "standards" that currently exist. Is the axle (length and thread) to drop compatibility the only critical detail and any 12 x 142 wheel will fit or do I also have to be wary of oddball standards shown in the prior link, like the Syntace X12 (i.e. will a 12 x 142 X12 rear wheel fit in my 12 x 142 M12x1.0 dropouts with the proper axle)?

Reading through the (very thorough and informative) Fairwheel blog post... and the large number of graphics required... occurred to me it could have very easily been an article in the Onion. "You can work on your own bike, it's actually quite simple and straightforward".

They will be listed as 12x1.0x142 rear and 12x1.0x100 front. Last edited by ColonelJLloyd; 07-21-2017 at 02:05 PM. |

What I'm curious about is the hubs themselves. The articles linked above discuss the axle interface in great detail, but not if certain hub standards within a size (12 x 142) are incompatible with other standards within the same size, i.e. does a 12 x 142 Syntace X12 wheelset fit in frameset not identified as X12 if the correct axle is used. Also, Endpoint axed the 12mm front and will only ship 15mm henceforth. |

You match the axles to the frame and fork and they can henceforth be considered part of said frame and fork. Different hub brands are compatible within a given axle diameter and OLD width. And. . . . many hubs can be compatible across various specs with the use of switchable end caps.
For instance, my SRAM 900 front hub can be used with the following fork standards: 9x100 QR 12x100 TA 15x100 TA 15x110 TA 20x110 TA In your Syntace example, yes. You can use any hub intended for use in a 12x142 rear end. In other words, there isn't a "12x142 Syntace X12" WHEEL, but there is a "12x142 Syntace X12" FRAME.
