    Hi
    I will be upgrading to Maxel Lites soon and have a standard QR Hope Pro 2 front hub, what needs to be done and is it a straight forward task? No new hub I hope! Cheers in advance

    Sell me your wheels – you'll need a new hub.

    Mate had hope hubs, took him nearly a minute to show me how to swap the spacers/ends/whatever to convert from QR to 20mm.
    With that kind of hassle I should sell your wheels to Pieface, or me 🙂

    Definitely don't need a new hub.

    Get yourself a set of these.

    Pull out the QR adapters (I think they are just a press-fit on Pro2, can't remember 100% on that though – if they don't a 5mm allen key in each end and unscrew but I think that's a Bulb that does that) and put on the 20mm adapters and hold in place with the spring clips.

    2 minute job if the QR adapters come out without a fight and the spring clips don't arc across the kitchen just as they are about to pop into place.

    No toold required for existing QR adaptors, should just pop out.

    Notice use of the word 'should' 8)

    Video is on hope site to do this 2 min task.
    Having recently done this myself I think maxle lite is fab.
