Specialized shop guys? Looking for a replacement thru-axle...

[smmokan]

I'm trying to find replacement endcaps for the front wheel of an Epic Evo (to get rid of the ridiculous torque caps)... apparently Specialized has no stock and it's impossible to find locally or in the US in general. Does anyone here work at a Specialized shop with one of these laying around by chance? Specialized part # is S205900002, but I guess it's a Formula-made hub.

My son works at a Specialized shop and I had him check. Unfortunately he said he doesn't have it and can't get it.

Thread hijack: Replacing the wheels on a bike with a lyrik and ordered a set of the torque cap end-caps since they were a cheap add-on. It comes with the standard ones as well. How come you despise them so much?

Thanks!

Take your torque caps to a local machine shop, have them turned down to 19mm.
Or a buddy with a small hobby lathe.
15 minute job.

Don’t despise them, I’m just moving the wheels to a fork that doesn’t accept them (Fox 34).

Regarding the link above- I ordered from those guys two weeks ago, but they don’t actually have the part in stock.

Ahh gotcha. Thanks

possible to find a good deal on a loose hub?
this one is in Euroland, but something like this?

I know its silly to pay $40-50 and effectively throw the hub away, just tossing an idea out.

My research shows that they are not Formula, but Bear Pawls part # BMB-00315OF0 (aka Spec part # S205900002)
I see a few US online options to buy.

I don't see any legit online shops selling them, but a result popped up on eBay from a seller in NV, so I'm going to give that a shot.
