quick release Giant S-XC2 front hub conversion
SUPERSUTT
Posts: 292
looking at getting a new set of forks the problem is the coils sprung rock shox XC 32 are 9 mm quick release,so to upgrade properly i want a set of forks with 15 mm screw through maxel, but that means my front wheel wont fit unless I buy a new one which I cant afford yet or just the hub [I'm no wheel builder].
I have heard about converting hubs and watched a few videos on you tube but the ones being converted look nothing like mine,Who makes the hubs for Giant bikes
PS I'm not really sure but I think there cup and cone style hubs

falling off doesn't hurt....its the landing that hurts

They are indeed cup and cone hubs, and no you cant convert them. Your better off holding off until you have the money for a new wheel. Re-building the rim with a new 15mm hub would be just as expensive as buying the wheel as you will almost certainly need new spokes, and the rim isn't really worth keeping as it's a very entry level one.
Just wait a bit?0
