I suspect the answer is no, but after reading threads about converting the front one to 15m I thought I'd see if anyone has done it to save buying a new wheel and wasting these perfectly good ones.

If you have a lathe and a mill anything is possible.

Ive done 150 conversions on a standard bulb but it isnt pretty- but neither was the bike it was going on 🙂 this was before 150 hubs were common place.

I guess it depends if the pro 2 kit could be adapted but i doubt it.

Not officially you can't. as mentioned above, if you've got the kit then anything is possible!
