In an effort to avoid past Xmas present disasters, I’m settting out a list a list this year for non-cycling Father Christmas.  

Came across this on my travels  – description on the site is by AI – so question:  what problem is this item meant to solve?

At a guess I would say it

At a guess I would say it enables a RockShox RS-1 fork (which requires a proprietary hub) to work with other hubs. They look like end caps and a disc rotor shim.

Search for Rock Shock, this

Search for Rock Shock, this kit might allow to use standard thru axle on RS1 MTB standard. The same way you can adapt quick release to thru axle…
