Question for Reynolds disc wheel users

[Epicus07]

I have a new wheelset that is binding when I install it on the frame with TA. I notice that the rear wheel and the 15mm end caps that it came with say CL presumably for centerlock. I’m suspecting that the brake rotor side end cap is different as it feels like the centerlock lockring is pressing against it when I tighten it down.

Does your front brake side end cap say CL?

Would a lower profile lock ring fit without binding?

Same lockrings on the back work fine. I think I’m missing the correct end cap.

Are both end caps fully seated in the hub? Or did the DS and NDS get swapped? I’ve had both of these problems…

[Epicus07]

The two caps I have appear identical. The 15mm set and the rear set are not.

Am I understanding correctly that you have a rear wheel with a 15mm through axle? or is it just the rear wheel end caps that say 15mm?

I wasn't aware that anyone makes rear wheels, even mountain bike rear wheels, with 15mm through axles.

Maybe the issue is that you need 12mm end caps on your rear wheel?
