I have a 2016 Voodoo Bizango and just bought some new 29er wheels for it,, currently the axle I have for the fork is a 15mm qloc however the WTB wheel and hub I intend to put on needs a 9mm axle for the wheel, can anyone advise of a converter for this or will I need new forks?

Send the wheels back and get 15mm ones? Or do the wheels convert. No way I'd be going back to 9mm QR these days

You'd need new lowers on the forks, so better getting a wheel with 15mm hub or as above, maybe there's a conversion available for the hub to make it 15mm.

You'll end up spending half the cost of a cheap wheel on an adaptor - assuming you can find one, no? Plus all the time wasted mucking about.

70 quid will get you one from Merlin that's plenty good enough for the Bizango. I recently bought one for the rear of mine...
