SKC. Most hub manufacturers do have a 15mm option or conversion.
Fox 831 DJ/4X fork
- Thread starter IH8Rice
- Start date
Indeed - I noticed that King now has a 15mm conversion kit for their ISO disc hubs - so that's another manufacturer to add to the list...
Wow - So for 15mm options it's:
King
DT
Hadley
I-9
Syncros
DMR
Hope
Shimano
...still looking for one from Burgtec, Azonic, Sun Ringle, WTB? This 15mm thing snuck up on me. LoL.

Why would you want a hub from Burgtec, Azonic, Sun Ringle, WTB ?? 
The thread has mentioned Azonic adapters a number of times. Ill ring burgtec tomorrow, they are the sort of company who would just machine you some up.
I see why one would need a 20mm fork for dj's if he's training hard and learning new tricks the side loads on bad landings are pretty harsh so gear gets trashed very quick (we have a strong dj scene around here and people swap gear way more often than any dh fashionista). Though I see no reason to by a very expensive fox fork for dj/street only as you really don't need quality suspension for it. It just has to ease the hits so that leaves us with 4x/ds and this is where 15mm I see fitting perfectly. Especialy that a lot of racers still run qr and this would save them annoying moments.
Atomlab has adapters for their Pimp amd new Pimplite hubs. Ringle has them for the Jumping Flea hub. I wish they would make one for the Dirty Flea but when I called they said they are not.
I am finding a truckload full of humor in the fact that someone would pay $831 for a light 4x fork, and then put those boat anchor Azonic wheels on.
That's like putting high heels on Rosie O'donnel. Its only gonna slow you down and nobody wants to see it.

Practice/dj/urban wheels will be Outlaw hubs laced with a Mavic 721 rims, Race wheels will be Gravity Light Wheels. Sorry for your misplaced truckloadI am finding a truckload full of humor in the fact that someone would pay $831 for a light 4x fork, and then put those boat anchor Azonic wheels on.

Hey, don't kill the funny, that is all I have.Practice/dj/urban wheels will be Outlaw hubs laced with a Mavic 721 rims, Race wheels will be Gravity Light Wheels. Sorry for your misplaced truckload
You asked earlier about what other 4x fork. The Reba 100 with the 20mm axle would be a good bet. It is 3.8 pounds as well, and you probaly already have a 20mm wheel. Both the Fox and Reba would be good options, but you might could save some coin with the Reba. Hell, they are all too expensive though.
Sorry the Reba is overpriced and can't compare to FoxHey, don't kill the funny, that is all I have.

*sigh*
And why is that exactly?
And why is that exactly?
Because the Reba is cheaper, stiffer, weighs the same and he did not buy two of them.
I wonder if he got a 1662 sticker when he bought the second one.
Jeremy R, I bow to you sir.
Stiffer I doubt it, cheaper not by much and it is a Rock Shox. The intenals on a RS are cheap compared to a Fox. I have a pike and it is a heavier duty fork then the reba and it is nowhere as stiff as the 831 and the internals are mostly plastic.Because the Reba is cheaper, stiffer, weighs the same and he did not buy two of them.

The 831 is a 32 series fork. And the 32's arnt stiff at all. I have a 32 on my dj bike and its kinda scary to look down and see it flex when I land. Im pretty light too. I havent ridden a reba so I cant say anything about that.
it's a 15mm or qr? Also the pike flexes with a 20mm and lowered to 100mm
Mine is a 15 and set at 100. I also have an older 32 thats now into xc duties that is a qr.
sorry I like my 831s for what i use them for. Fox has always been good to me.
I would never buy another RS again.
Love that website lol
