Lord forbid I discuss bike stuff in the lounge, but some of youse seem to be good people, so bare with me.

Does anyone know if I can convert a 24mm King hub down to a 15mm or the 20mm axle? I found a guy with some for sale, great price, but I don't have a 24mm fork.

I know you can do 20mm to 15mm, and 9mm to 15mm, but what about this odd duck 24mm?

Did you ask Chris?

it would appear so

Our 24mm front disc hub tips the scales at a modest 240 grams. It uses the same shell, bearings and adjusting clamp as our 20mm hub; the only difference is the axle itself. One axle for 20mm thru-axle systems, one axle for the 24mm QR system.

In other good news, you'll be able to get away without rebuilding your wheel if you were running one of our 20mm hubs before. The wheel will simply need to be re-dished a little bit to get you going down the road, or trail as the case may be.

edit:

Or choose the ISO 15mm based hub (LD) and keep your options open to switch to a 20mm or 24mm thru axle fork

An ISO Hubshell is compatible with any axel configuration you might want.

They use headset bearings for the thru-axle hubs. You could use a beer can up there if you wanted.

SpecialED also had the 25mm front axle,...one year one model.

24mm is just the LD hub suck part is you can't make it a 9mm version.
