I just ordered a DT Swiss 240s centerlock thru bolt front hub. But what I need is 15 mm thru axle. Does anyone know, whick conversion kit I need? Seems there are a lot of different ones.

Go to wheelbuilder.com and look at their end cap kits. Out of curiosity, which one did you order, because their thru axle is 15mm

i would email dtswiss with details of what you ordered - at some point in the past they made a change to the axle width (once you popped off the endcap). IIRC the older ones are smaller internal diameter and can't be converted up to 15mm

My hub is thru bolt, which means that it's 12 mm axle. I've tried both DT Swiss website and wheel builder, and couple of other websites. But I find it very confusing since, there's no info regarding the thru bolt version and which other versions, it can be converted to.
