Machining new endcaps for a DT Swiss hub

I needed to convert a DT Swiss hub from using a 15mm thru-axle down to a 12mm thru axle to fit on my commuter bike. You can buy the parts to do this, but instead of spending $50 on the parts, I spent some quality time with the lathe and a log of 7075 to make a new set.

Alignment turned out great, I didn’t even have to re-align the brake caliper after installing the wheel. Sometimes projects are simple.
