Ok, so the new Fox forks are coming out mid July apparently and I'm trying to find some wheels to go with.

Anyone know if Hope are bringing out compatible hubs very soon?

I know Mavic have agreed to develop a 15qr wheelset, anyone heard of any timescales for this?

    I've only heard of SHimano being comfirmed so far for QR15 hubs.

    Why could they not have just used 20mm hubs, like anyone cares about the 5g weight saving

    There is likely to be adapters to talk some 20mm hubs to 20mm but it will all be a bit pointless. If anything this is more than reason it self not to get them. There are plenty of good light weight 20mm forks out there, I would stick with them personally.

    yeh i have the pikes but i had the floats before in QR version and was pleased with them on that xc setup.

    Im just looking for a lighter fork. The Fox 36's weigh the same as the Pikes so wouldn't gain much there.

    Really wanted to stick with RS or Fox but doesn't seem an option now.
