Have you googled for anything yet? I'm posting from my phone so I can't actually look for myself either.

In saying that, i can't imagine them being too far away if they aren't already out. It wouldn't be a very difficult conversion.

Hey guys,

Im building a new dirt jumper and I bought a 2011 Octane 20 mm front hub, I am looking at buying a 2010 Fox 32 RLC which uses a 15 mm axle. I was wondering if some how it could be converted or would it fit ? Let me know ! Thanks.[PI=https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6927902/ size=l align=c][/PI] (Picture of the axle)

you should have brought a hope hub, it is easier to do it on, but do octane one make a 15 mm hub? or do ns?

it looks pretty close to a hope, who knows the hope kit may fit?

Step One: Buy Lathe
Step Two: Make 20-15mm converter and multiple other things
Step Three: ???
Step Four: Profit

Yeah , I was going to buy a 20 mm hope 2 but chain reaction was sold out. I just spent alot of money building the wheel so I don't want to buy a new hub and relace it all, and I don't have the fork yet. I read somewhere you can take out the cups on the side of the hub and replace them with whats pictured on the hub and it will work, anyone else have any ideas ?

yep, hope do a conversion kit, take the wheel to your lbs and see if the conversion kit works

Some hubs that are made for 9 and 20mm may not have 15mm adaptors (I think it's the case for the old Mavic Crossmax ST). Some french guy machined some for the XMax ST, so if your hub can convert to 9mm (using converters like Hope or Mavic or other brands I guess) then you should be able to find them.

I would say the easiest and probably cheapest way would be to find another fork that has a 20mm axle... Get a Fox36 and lower it ? ^^

Yeah , im looking at a 409 or a rc . I'll see, don't like the manitou and don't want to spend the cash on a brand new 831.
