Ok, so I'm finally getting around to converting my bulb from qr to 20mm. The 20mm adapter has the 2 20mm end caps and then 2 'C' clip type metal rings. No instructions. Not that they're needed, but a drawing would be nice.

Am I to assume that the 'C' clip goes on the outside of the hub and 20mm end cap and then you simply compress it until it slides down and locks in the end cap to the hub body? I guess I could take a picture if needed but hopefully this description makes sense.

I'm looking for confirmation that this is the correct procedure. I don't want to do this, then take a test ride, only to end up without a front wheel as I try to manual my now unicycle back to the garage.

Here's the image from Hope's website.



So I'm assuming that those clips on the end get compressed into the hub body, and that holds the 20mm end caps in place. I'm going to go install it now. I'll see how it goes.

Yep. That's all I had to do. Really simple actually.

Now I need to go tow my bro's car back to the house and I can finish the install. :)

take a 5mm wrench and unscrew the QR end hub caps.

put the adapter cups to the ends of the hubs, and secure w/ the c-clips. very simple.

Yep, way ahead of you guys. I already did it. It's done. I wouldn't say 30 seconds, probably more like 1min and 10 secs. Either way it's not hard.

Thanks anyways.
