As title says is it possible or is a new wheel required
Depends on the hub and whether its something like a Hope thats easily converted.
A above, it primarily depends on the hub design but also depends on the bearings used and the size of these.
What hub is it? Someone may have done the conversion before.
No it's xt hub
Cheers
Those in the know about shimano hubs will need the model number of the hub to determine if it is possible to convert it. I am not one of them.
I'm not sure why you'd need to convert the hub? If you use a 15mm to QR axle that should work - I've done this on 12mm to QR before now.

This doesn't specify the length so would need checking, but it really isn't 'hub specific' - if it's 15mm diameter and the right length it would work.

That's a hub conversion kit, for converting a Nukeproof hub...
Can't convert XT hubs sadly, new wheel time.
Think you've got confused [b]phil56[/b], it reads to me that he has 15mm forks, but a 9mm hub, so that adapter would be the wrong way around, it would let you fit a 15mm hub to a 9mm fork.
In addition to njee's comments the OP is looking to got the other way, from the title any way it would appear that he has a 9mm QR hub and wants a 15mm hub.

Please ignore me - I'm old and it's early. Matron hasn't come round with the medication yet!
