Question is in the title, can 302/318's ONLY run 20mm axle hubs?

The reason I ask is because I might buy these, but might not be able to afford a new hub with bigger (20mm) axle. Will I definitely need a 20mm axle hub in order to run this fork?

Thanks

What are decent (not TOP spec, but decent) front 20mm hubs, for a reasonable price that I could maybe get second hand?

or you could get hold of any other rockshox lowers with 32mm stantions and qr drop-outs. i'd be willing to swap my recon lowers for your pikes.

I don't own pikes..

Price range... ~£50? Second hand that is, what do you reckon I can get for that?

sorry i meant if you bought argyles i would swap my recons lowers for yours. this would mean you dont have to buy a new wheel as recons are qr and you'll have lighter forks, but recon lowers are weaker than argyle lowers.

Hmm, think I'll stick with the Argyle lowers bud, but thanks for the offer.
But yeah, any decent front 20mm hubs for ~£50 (second hand)?

is that just for the hub or for the entire wheel cos hope pro2s are one of the best hubs you can buy and are around £50 on CRC.

quick release sorry thats what your current hub is i assume, that conversion is for pro2s not any hub but if you need a 20mm hub you shouldn't need the conversion as you'll have bought the 20mm version in the first place.
