Is it possible to convert a Cannondale C3 hub to a thru axel?
I’m looking at getting new forks and most upgraded forks seem to do the thru axel.

    The images I can find suggest they are Cup and cone on a stock 9mm threaded axle, so no.

    Cup and cone, that’s the phrase I was after. So would it mean a new hub?

    It would, or usually better to get a new wheel and sell on the old, swapping the hub will cost you almost as much and leave you nothing to sell worth anything.
