There are now many options to attach your front wheel to your forks.

Do you have to buy a specific wheel/hub to match your fork choice or can you convert any standard front hub to accept your choice.

If you can convert hubs, where do you get the hardware.

Maxle is a 20mm axle.

Yes, your wheel needs to match either 20mm or 15mm but most decent modern wheels that will do 20mm also have adaptors for 15mm and even QR (eg Hope Pro2s)

Hubs that were designed only for normal QR can't be converted (well I'm sure there's an exception somewhere but it's not usual) - eg no Shimano QR hubs can't be converted.

EDIT - corrected above to 'CAN'T be converted'!
