Anyone know if you can covert cobalt hubs to 20mm, had a look about and can't sem to find a yes/no answer

If they can't, anyone know where I could buy a new hub, say from an iodine so I can have a 20mm hub?

Cheers

I don't think the Cobalts can be converted to 20 mm. As for sourcing a new hub, try asking 2Pure - they are the UK distributor for CB.

Cheers, managed to get a set of h blue ones after searching for ages and didn't even think about the hubs (schoolboy error) and know I can't use my Kings, looks like a call to 2pure

You need some 20mm thru axle end caps - look at the instructions for Cobalts, its in there. Download from their website. Contact 2Pure see if they can get some.

If you are using Cobalt wheels, how come you haven't died. That's what they tell you here, at least that's what they told me. Love my Champagne wheels.

OOps maybe that's just Iodines. I'd get in tough with 2pure to be sure.

There are a few threads about this. The original versions had a few freehub failures. My Iodine freehub failed and was replaced with the updated version under warranty.
