My hope front hub is a 20mm Bulb. I have a conversion kit for 15mm, however after talking to Hope I found out it was for the Evo2 and they don't make a 15mm conversion for the Bulb. After doing some research online I have found some forums with people saying that they had to take the adapters to a machine shop and have them trim them down. But I was wondering if anyone knows of any 15mm conversion kit for any brand that fits? If not then it is going to come down to selling my fork, which I don't want to do.

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to get a new front wheel /hub?

Yeah it would, but I can sell my current fork. And the wheel is a yellow nukeproof, so finding one to match will not be easy.

Yeah I see what you mean. I looked about for you but could only find 20mm to q/r converters

So get a set of the QR ones, take them to a machine shop and ask them to bore out the center to 15mm...

15mm thru and QR are both 100mm spacing (provided your fork isn't one of those derpy boost things)

Good idea here are the converters:

But I've just realised they say pro2/pro3 sorry
Still,worth asking the vendor if they will fit

If they're for pro 2s, they aren't going to fit... bulb and pro 2 are different designs entirely

Thanks for the help guys. I think I will look into some other fork options or a new wheel set.
