Im looking at a new shimano xt wheelset but the front hub is a 20mm not the 9mm QR i need. I know i should look for the proper set but at the price i found i'd be insane to let it go. After a quick chainreaction search i found these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17146 and wondered if anybody knows if they would work ?
Any help would be appriciated
They almost certainly won't work and the wheels aren't a bargain if they don't actually fit your bike.
Parts for a mavic wheelset are not going to fit in a shimano hub!
20mm hub will also be too wide to even get in your fork let also secure to it. (110 not 100mm)
I love shimano hubs usually but their cup and cone 20mm ones are a false economy, you need a new 22mm cone spanner to service them, and boy will you need to as my xt and slx ones are rather poorly sealed. And they are rather harder than qr hubs to set up again properly.
