[Closed] Tell me about converting my front wheel from QR to 20mm

I've got a set of Hope Pro II's which I know is fairly straightforward, but I've also got a Magura Pro wheelset.

I'm fairly sure that these are rebadged DT Swiss 240 hubs.

I've done some research and you can get QR to 20mm conversion kits for DT Swiss 240s front hubs.

Have looked on the DT Swiss website but they only mention the 240s

Does anyone know if this 's' is significant, or are the 240 and the 240s one and the same?

Thanks
Adam

Hi I had a 240s front hub which was set up for the 9mm system, I wanted to convert it to 15mm.

Took a lot of finding out but there is a 240s and a 240s oversize.

In the end my 9mm hub which was a 240s and not the oversize one would only convert back to QR.

I had to buy a new hub in the end, hope that helps

Cheers Shredder - duely noted.

I compared the Maugura hubs to the Pro IIs earlier and (the part you'd swap out) certainly seem like a smaller diameter on the Magura/DT Swiss hubs so I'm assuming I share your predicament.

Had been trying to avoid converting the Hopes because they're red and will look a bit naff on the new bike. Better than no front wheel though, I guess!
