Not the best photo but gives an idea.
The front hub is 20mm and I would like to convert it to QR so trying to make sure I buy the right kit.

I believe it is a ProII but I could be mistaken. how old is the bike?

I bought them second hand about 3 years ago, so they are probably around 5 years old or something.
I have read somewhere that they will say Pro II on the hub if that's what they are, these have numbers wrote under 'Hope'.

looks PROII ish, are the cups held in with circlip thingys?? Try here if you can take the 20mm cups off you can tell from the Exploded diagrams will either be bulb or more likely PROII

It looks like it's got -BL at the end of the part code, which would suggest it's a Bulb. Other thing is the 20mm top hat spacer things are identical on Pro IIs but on Bulbs one is longer than the other, obviously not possible to tell from the photo.

Thats a Bulb.
But christ knows where you'll get a QR kit from.Posted 1 year ago # -
Looks like my BULB.
The numbers on it will be the date of manufacture.
QR kits do exist, mine is and always has been QR, I thought the 20mm conversion was the option!Posted 1 year ago # -
Just had a closer look and the code appears to be 05-04-BL.
I took out the 20mm spacers and one of them is around 6/7mm longer than the other.
So it's looking likely to be a bulb isn't it?
Thanks guys!!

If it's a Blub, ye'll need one of these:

Just be careful when you order the conversion kit. You need to specify 6 bolt as the axle kits for 5 bolt hope bulbs are a different size.
