[Closed] Help - Fitting Hope pro 2 hub to DT Swiss XMC130 forks!

Hello All,

I have got a pair of DT Swiss XMC130 forks (very nice looking) and I have got a Hope Pro 2 front hub. The hub was originally a 20mm hub but I have got the 15mm converters so unclipped the 20mm bits and slid the 15mm ones in (does not look like there is a clip and bottoms out on bearing face as it looks like it should). The issue comes when I try to fit them to my forks, they don't seem to fit, the hub cups are about 5mm too wide by the looks of it!

Right well I have never had a 15mm fork or hubs so I have nooooo idea what is going on, are the cups sat in right, are they compatible with the forks (I have seen no indicators anywhere that they might not be), do I just have to open the forks out a bit (!) anyone with some experience please help. Hopefully this is just me being a numpty at 11.30 at night trying to play with my new toys and not doing it right!

Thanks,

Chaz

If anyone can please help or give any possibilities as everything looks like it put together properly (hubs etc) but it is just too wide for the forks! Are there different standards of wheel hub width?

Cheers

Right scrap that I talked to Hope and think they are Bulbs not Pro 2 so will start a new thread on this.
