I have a pair of King wheels I would like to use on my "gravel" bike that takes a 100 x 12mm front hub. I emailed King to ask if they did an adaptor and the answer was:

Other than buying an R45D front hub, we do not have a 100x12mm axle option. There may be a solution coming out in the future, though.

The R45 12mm axle also wont fit an ISO hub. Anyone else come across this and found a work around to enable an ISO SD hub fit a 100 x 12mm fork please?

I know there are aftermarket adapters for boost https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/MT-ZOOM-FRONT-Thru-Axle-Adapter-for-Boost-Spaced-Forks-15mm-x-100mm-to-110mm/401491413831?hash=item5d7ac0cb47:g:-2gAAOSw-uda7hE-

Don't know of there's similar for qr to 12mm but google might help, might be easier than converting the hub itself

Thanks Martin, thats perfect!

(AndrewH, thanks as well, your thinking prompted me to look for some tube to use, which is exactly what the Halo tube is!).
