How to install NEWMEN TC Adapters
Install your front wheel once more with ease with NEWMEN's TC Adapter.
When it was time to upgrade my Enduro rig with a RockShox Pike RCT3 fork, there was one small detail that continued to annoy me: the new Torque Cap dropouts.
Before, I could just put my front wheel in my fork easily. Line it up in the dropouts and screw in the thru-axle and I was done. However, now that RockShox has increased their dropout size to 31 mm, every time I put my non-Torque Cap wheels the axle no longer easily slides through. Every time I install the front wheel, I have to spend time moving it around in the dropouts so that the axle fits correctly and this really gets on my nerves.
I searched and searched and found manufactures who offered solutions, but prices between 15.15 € and 30 € seemed a little steep. Thank goodness NEWMEN has released that perfect solution to my problem and did it at a great price. Below you can see how to mount these nifty adapters so you can once again easily install your front wheel.
The difference between a hub with Torque Caps and one without.
Step 1: Prep
First apply degreaser to a clean towel.
Clean the dropouts of any debris.
Step 2: Installation
Remove the cover from the TC Adapter.
Now, stick it to the dropout.
Step 3: Done
Now, it's done!

Aero or lightweight? Well-ventilated or extra safe? The era of compromises in road biking is coming to an end. At least when it comes to headgear.
The Enlightenment
Riding in the light is usually more fun than in the dark - and most folks would agree on that. But as a "real" rider, that doesn't matter.
