DT Hugi Hub

[Stretch79]

Hi guys,

Been looking at this hub.

Can’t find any info so hoping someone can enlighten me.

Does this hub have a 20mm axle kit to change from the existing QR available?

Found out you can’t.

So trying to source a 20mm axel version of that hub

Thanks

Pretty sure not.
I don't think the bore is large enough.

You could pop the end cap off, read the bearing number, then see if you can find a bearing listed with same thickness and o.d., but 20mm I.d.
If that's the case, you can set it up 20mm with suitable spacers and dishing.

I’ve seen the one I’m after so I’ll probably just have to keep searching. As you say the bore might now be large enough compared to the one needed

They enlarged the dt hub body specifically to carry the larger axle.
This implies the old one wouldn't take it!
Not to say its not possible:
There are ways you could fit the hub - somewhere in our stock there's a funny adapter with 20mm ends and a qr skewer through it

Better get the right hub though

Let me know if you want me to keep an eye out for that adapter - I bet it was Marzocchi- specific though

How did you know?? haha
Yes for a set of 1998 Marzocchi Monster T's which I'm still sourcing
