Been offered Fox forks with new 15mm QR system.

How easy is it to get hold of hubs to go with this set up?

Can Hope Pro II be converted to fit?

Any other recommendations for hubs to go with this system{Nothing too outlandishly expensive please}

Which wheelbuilder would you lot use?{online or E.Central Scotland based}

Adaptor available for Hope Pro 2, about £15 i think.

Otherwise it's new hub and wheel build costs.

Yup, as nickegg said.

The conversion to 15mm on a Pro 2 front hub is one of the easiest jobs you'll ever do on a bike. The old spacers literally pull off with your fingers, swap the o-rings over to the 15mm spacers and re-fit. The Hope website has a video if you need it, but it's really very easy.

I've just swapped from Revs to 140mm Floats with the 15mm QR and so far I'm liking then new forks. I'm still experimenting with all the settings but the 15QR system is really nice.
