my current fork and hub do not have a 20mm through axle. if i get new forks, are there an step up washer/adapters i can use so i can keep the same wheel?
in bmx people frequently use step up washers for 3/8" axle in a 14mm slot.
as i said before, the spacers exist. they allow you to run a 3/8" axel on a 20 mm fork using a very long rear QR squewer. QBP used to sell them and perhaps they still do.
just get a new hub, if you ghetto-rig it for a qr hub, you'll likely loose the stiffness factor which is the main advantage to a 20mm hub. also, forks w/ 20mm axles come with their own axle which slides in through the hub, unlike a qr hub.
