    I have an ISO wheelset with a 20mm through axle. Is it a simple job to convert to QR like with Hope Pro 2s?

    What parts do I need, full new axle or are there some push-in endcaps?

    Would the Hope ones work as I have a pair that came with some Hope Hoops…

    Thanks in advance.

    You can’t convert a 20mm Chris King hub to 9mm QR because CK design the bearings specifically for use with 20mm or 9mm hubs.

    However, you can go from 20mm through axle down to 15mm QR or you can go up from 9mm QRto 15mm QR.

    I know that sounds a bit convoluted, but I guess it’s because there is a limit to what the bearings are designed to do?

    Thanks Geetee, is it worth trying the Hope Pro 2 converters? Wouldn’t they just push-fit like they do into the Hope hubs?

    No It’s a totaly different system.
