The Rohloff A12 Reduction Sleeve, right-hand, M12x1.75 threaded (8593) is the sprocket-side sleeve for DT Swiss / Maxle thru-axle frames with M12x1.75 thread, adapting them to the 7 mm axle bolt of the Speedhub 500/14 A12.

How to order
This part cannot be ordered on its own. The A12 reduction sleeves are sold only as part of the Rohloff A12 Full set – Based on measurements. To get one, order that set and then contact us through the contact form in our Help Center. We arrange the measurement of your frame with you, and we explain everything by email.
Why the original sleeve?
12 mm to 7 mm. A12 reduction sleeves reduce the 12 mm thru-axle opening to 7 mm for the M7x1 Rohloff axle bolts.
Coarse-thread version. For frames whose sprocket-side dropout has the coarser M12x1.75 thread; tightened with a 13 mm spanner to 10 Nm.
Measured, not guessed. Rohloff states that 12 mm thru-axle frames must be measured with the A12 dropout measurement kit (Art. 8600) to work out which reduction sleeves and spacers are needed.
Who is it for?
- DT Swiss / Maxle frames with M12x1.75 thread. The sprocket-side sleeve for an A12 Speedhub.
- Workshops fitting A12 hubs. Keep the correct pitch at hand for Maxle-type frames.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the M12x1.5 sleeve instead?
No. The sleeve must match the frame thread exactly; M12x1.75 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
Do I need a sleeve on the left side too?
Yes – on DT/Maxle frames the left side uses the reduction sleeve 8592.
Can I order this part on its own?
No. It is available only as part of the Rohloff A12 Full set – Based on measurements. Order the set, then contact us through the contact form in our Help Center, and we will arrange the frame measurement and tell you everything by email.
