Does anyone know of a fix or am I going to have to fork out (pun intended) for a new wheel??!
Currently running bomber forks with a 20mm Giant Hun front wheel.
I would like to swap the bombers for a fox float that takes a 15 mm axel.
Is there a conversion kit around that will work? Crc seem to offer a couple of conversion kits but they all appear to be brand specific.
Please help!

As you've found, its hub specific. Its possible that some other adapters may fit as they are pretty simple things. If you take the outer caps off to expose the bearings then measure the total width if its the same as another brand you could potentially use their adapters.

Another option is custom adapters. Its a 10 min job on the lathe if you know someone who will do it for beer money. Unlikely to be worthwhile commercially.

Check the bearing sizes for your hubs with those of the adaptor manufacturers - front hubs in particular often use common bearing sizes. There may be some variation in the length of the adaptor - see if someone can measure one for you?
