OK, I'm pretty new to the whole 20mm hub thing. I've seen it around but have pretty much ignored it since it didn't apply to me at the time.
Now, I'm planning on having a 20mm fork on my new bike (when i build it) and I'd like to learn a bit about the whole 20mm standard (if it is standardized).
I've seen various different names for 20mm products. I've seen QR20, QR20+, Tullio and just 20mm. Are these just different names for the same interchangable standard? Or are they all exclusive and proprietary?
Is stiffness the only benefit to the 20mm standard?
Do I need to get a specific hub type when going 20mm or are all 20mm hubs compatable with all 20mm forks?
What's the cheapest way to start out with 20mm
1. purchase new 20mm hub and have it re-laced on existing wheel? If so, what's the cheapest 20mm hub?
2. purchase single front wheel w/ 20mm hub (ebay has one for $120 now)
3. purchase an entire new wheelset?
4. Other
Any other info that I should be aware of before going for this?
