Specialized Axle End Cap

No, this specific part is designed exclusively for the Specialized Epic Men's and Epic Women's models. It is not a universal fit for all Specialized hubs, so please verify your bike's specific model year and hub configuration before purchasing.

No, this end cap is specifically engineered for the front right position. It is not interchangeable with the left side or the rear hub caps.

Using a genuine factory replacement ensures the exact tolerances required for your hub's interface with the fork. Generic parts often lack the precise fitment needed to prevent play or bearing damage, which can compromise wheel performance and safety.

In most cases, these end caps are designed to be press-fit or hand-seated, but it depends on your specific hub design. If the cap feels tight, ensure you are using a soft-faced mallet or a proper bearing press tool to avoid damaging the aluminum finish or the internal seals.

You should consider replacing it if you notice visible wear, corrosion, or if the cap no longer sits flush against the hub shell. If you experience any lateral play in your front wheel while the thru-axle is fully tightened, the end cap may be worn or damaged.
