Title: Elite wheel hubs rd07
Post by: abedfo on March 27, 2024, 06:17:22 AM: Hey everyone. Just snagged a pair of elite wheel ent 38mms in the sale for £216. I wish to put them on my cross bike which is ancient QR standard. Elite do end cup adapters but charge a premium for them so just looking for cheapest option whilst they ship.

My question is does anyone know who makes the RD07 hubs? Also if I just buy the generic adapter end caps from ali express are they likely to fit ?

Their hubs can be found here: https://www.yuananbike.com/product-list/road-bike-hub_p2

Maybe you can ask them for end cups or whether there are generic aliX alternatives you can use.

Where did you get the adapters? I am looking for them and can't find them anywhere.

If thats the case, i would suggest a qr/tru-axle adapter(axle) there is plenty of then om ali.

Search for "qr adapter 12mm"

I bought them from Elitewheels together with the wheels

Apparently they are sold by MANA and the model of the hubs is RD13.

I get this, but I've been looking for the adapters for a while now and any answer I get is along the line of "any generic would be fine", but there are quite a few different generic endcaps available. I wanted to link the specific product, because the information is quite elusive and someone else might be as confused as me.
