Luke26mhz Retro Guru Jan 25, 2015 #1 Hi all, I've just bought a set of hope bulb hubs which are 9mm Q/R. I'm building a new bike up & the forks I'll be buying will be 15/20mm axle. Can I convert the from hub?

If 20 mm are like 15 mm, the invonvenience being no longer q/r. .... actually how will they fit since 15 mm and 20 mm use a thru axle skewer. If the hubs are altedy 20 mm enabled, then you just have 9 mm rnd caps so will be fine and ignore the rantings abovrkvr
