BBN Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Can you change a 20mm maxle fork to fit a15mm hub? I have SLR 's and was looking at a Reba XX fork, can I fit it?
covie Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I know some hubs have adapter kits to fit a 20mm maxle. I have 142 rear and 20mm upfront and i know AM classic has all the bits. Not sure if you can do it the other way though, i.e. modify a fork to fit a hub.

BBN Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Surely it just comes down to axle size? As long as the fork has a 20mm bearer, the size of the axle should not matter?On the hub side, can you fit a 20mm sleeve to an SLR?

The reason for 15mm was the extra stiffness without a weight penalty when moving up from 9mm. Shimano/Fox response to the 20mm maxle lite from SRAM> have to love the games. Just make sure your hub can fit into the fork, as most 20mm axles require 110mm wide hubs. 15mm and 9mm hubs are 100mm wide.
