So I've got the kit to convert my hub to 15mm from 20mm. The youtube video shows notches in the flange, to unscrew the existing fittings ... only mine doesn't have any notches and the axle looks like it is a continuous cylinder all the way through. Was there a significant difference to fittings before 2012?
Yes - the older ones (grey hub grey rim 2007> and white hub grey rim 2009> had different front axles from the newer white hub white rim ones - in the 2009> that was a full length axle that would be too wide to go in a 15mm
What you need is:

Yes thanks, the hub is white/rim is grey - so 2009-2011.
The Risseracing link shows the replacement hub as 100mm, is there another conversion kit needed also?
No, 15mm fork is 100mm width - the 20mm are 110 between.
Super! Thanks.
