Flowta Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I don't believe they are convertable. IIRC they use loose ball bearings so the axle would part of the bearing. I'm not sure if the QR and 20mm version share the same outer shell. If so you might be able to buy the QR axle and swap it out. ThePubSA 1
RED1408 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I don't think so man. Just checked out their site: http://techdocs.shim...69830799986.pdf ThePubSA 1

Those look like Hope adapters, the Hope hubs use sealed bearings with a 20mm axle between them. The QR and 15mm adapters slide in, while 20mm are fitted outside by circlips. Can find tech drawings tomorrow ThePubSA 1
