Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which Neo end cap variant I need?
Check your hub model (Neo series) and your fork axle spec: front hubs commonly use 100mm spacing (QR, 12mm or 15mm) or 110mm for 20mm thru-axles. Match the end cap variant to your fork's axle diameter and the hub's spacing (100/110mm) to ensure proper fit and rotor alignment.
Can I convert my Stan's Neo hub from QR to thru-axle using these end caps?
Yes. Stan's Neo end caps are designed as conversion pieces: swapping a QR cap for a 12/15/20mm thru-axle cap changes the axle interface while retaining the same hub body and bearing placement. Follow manufacturer guidance for correct seating and confirm your axle length and fork requirements.
What tools do I need to install or remove these end caps?
Most end caps are a slip- or press-fit and can be removed with a soft (dead-blow) mallet or a dedicated cap removal tool; installation can often be done by hand or gently tapping into place. For best results, use a plastic drift or dedicated tool to avoid damaging the anodized surface and ensure bearings remain seated.
Do these end caps affect rotor mounting or brake alignment?
End caps change axle interface and may alter rotor position slightly if they change hub spacing. The listed variants maintain the original Neo hub spacing (100mm or 110mm), so rotor mounting remains compatible. Always re-check rotor alignment and caliper position after swapping end caps.
Are these end caps sold individually or as pairs?
Variants listed are specific to the front hub end cap. Typically front end caps are sold as a pair for the front axle or as single replacements depending on the seller. Check the product listing details on the Forest Bikes page for exact packaging—PN 090852 corresponds to Stanley Neo front end cap options.
How durable are the end caps and will they protect the bearings?
Made from machined aluminum with anodized protection, the end caps are durable for normal trail use and provide a precise sealing surface to help protect bearings from contaminants. Proper installation and periodic inspection will maximize bearing life; if you ride in extreme conditions, inspect seals and bearings more frequently.
Buying Guide
When buying replacement or conversion end caps for a hub, start by confirming your hub family (Stan's Neo), front hub spacing (100mm or 110mm) and the axle diameter your fork requires (QR, 12mm, 15mm or 20mm). Choosing a cap that matches both the hub's bearing journal and your fork's axle ensures correct preload, rotor alignment, and safe clamping. Also consider materials and serviceability: aluminum end caps are light and stiff, but inspect seals and bearing seats during installation. If you frequently swap forks or wheelsets between bikes, keep spare end caps in your workshop or travel kit to avoid delays and maintain optimal wheel performance.
