20mm to standard QR adapter?
Can anyone recommend where to find an adapter for mounting a 20mm axle to a standard QR fork?
I've seen posts on this, and all I've seen was so and so makes one, or I know there's one available. I checked so and so's websites, and don't see it anywhere.
If anyone could provide a link or detailed info on where I can find one.
I've got a set of Bombshell Crusher Freeride wheels mounting onto a Marzocchi Marathon S.
Any info would help.
Thanks guys.
Jason

If you want to use a hub with the 20mm thru-axle on a standard fork, good luck. Standard dropouts are for 9mm axles. There's no safe way to modify them for a bigger axle. I think what you need to look for is the conversion kit (if available) from the hub manufacturer that allows you to replace that fat pipe with a wimpy 9mm hollow axle. Some hubs are convertible to/from 20mm to 9mm, but forks aren't. The exception is ATC racing's forks, which can easily be changed from 9mm to 20mm and back.
