please recommend a front hub that accepts 12mm endcaps for a 12x100 thru axle

Please recommend a front hub that accepts 12mm endcaps for a 12x100 thru axle. 32h preferred. This is for a gravel/ bikepacking wheel.

The more affordable the better, but want durability. Lightweight is not as important.

Where can I find 12mm endcaps for the 6-bolt DT Swiss 240S front hubs? I can only find them for the 6-bolt 350 hubs and the Centerlock 240S front hubs.

They should be interchangeable...give them a call at the grand junction Colorado number to be sure looks like there is a place in Minnesota too. Numbers are listed on their site under contact us and USA service provider.

Why would you not choose centerlock given the choice? My centerlock 350 rear came with the excellent DT centerlock to 6-bolt adapter and lock ring.

But, as stated above I believe the end caps are shared between centerlock and 6-bolt.

I've also had the Velocity Lightweight and SRAM 900 hubs (6-bolt) and they come with all the endcaps. No tools required.
