Industry Nine Hub End Caps

These end caps are specifically designed for Industry Nine Hydra, 1/1, and Torch hub platforms. Please verify your specific hub model before purchasing, as end caps are not universally interchangeable across all I9 generations.

In most cases, Industry Nine end caps are designed to be removed and installed by hand or with simple tools like a soft-jaw pliers or a dedicated end cap tool. It is a straightforward process, but ensure you clean and lightly grease the seals before installing the new caps to maintain smooth operation.

No. Changing your brake mount standard requires a hub shell swap or a complete wheel rebuild, as the rotor interface is machined directly into the hub body. These end caps only facilitate changes to axle standards, such as switching between thru-axle and quick-release configurations.

You need to match the end cap to your hub model (Hydra, 1/1, or Torch) and the axle standard of your new frame or fork. Check the axle diameter (e.g., 15mm, 12mm, 20mm, or QR) and the hub spacing requirements to ensure a precise fit.

When installed correctly, these end caps maintain the factory-spec tolerances required for your hub's performance. However, always ensure the caps are fully seated and that your axle is tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent play or binding.
