I have a pair of Rockshox Revelation Uturn 2009 forks, currently ran on QR hope skewers...how do I convert to 20mm maxle, or can it be done at all? Total noob question i know, mechaincals are not my forte.

You can't not unless you replace the fork legs.

Replace lowers or get some new forks.

Edit...dammit too slow.

Nearest you'll get is a solid 9mm axle. Even then, depending on the hub, you may need to change the bearings and hub axle. IF the hub design allows you to do that.

A bit like this.

It provides me front-end stiffness that is as good as my pikes. The only problems is you have to remember a 15mm spanner wherever you go!
