I have an old Hope XC front hub which is QR and was wondering if there was ever a conversion kit to turn it into a 20mm hub as i'm thinkin of etting a pair of Pike's with maxle
The hub is about a 2000 model

Anyone?

    I don't know for sure but I'm going to so no, purely because thru-axles on xc and trail is pretty much new to this year - so a 2000 xc hub will be QR only I'd bet.

    the XC hub is not convertable.

    and just for reference the XC hub is not a pure XC hub but a good multi use hub.
