Hi all

Can you change a Mavic Wheel from a Lefty hub to a standard hub easily? Being a novice, I presume it's as simple as ordering a new front hub and rebuilding the wheel round it?

Sorry if this is a daft question!

Thanks! :)

    IF you can order the hub seperately then yes you could. But the cost of hub, new spokes and a rebuild will probably cost more than just buying a new wheel.

    If you were going from standard to lefty it would probably be cheaper to by a new hub - but going the other way, there are so many cost effect "normal" front wheels around, I'd go with Bails' suggestion!!

    Thanks guys - I'll have a look at a new front wheel and cost it up against the re-build.

    Cheers!
