I have 2 sets of forks, a set of revelations that are 15mm maxle and Lyrics at 20mm. the revs get used for general riding and the lyrics for heading abroad, big mountain days etc.

Im looking at getting a new wheelset and looking at hope pro2 evo hubs. I have seen that they can easily be changed with a conversion kit between 15mm and 20m which would suit me down to the ground.

Can anyone tell me just how easy this is for a non mechanically minded person, ta 🙂

The hope hoops usually come with a 15mm and QR adaptor with the wheels

So you should only need to buy the 20mm.

Mine arrived today in shiny red.

This depends on the rim, the burlier ones come with 20mm + qr. See the wheels page on Hopes website.

OP, maybe a good idea to double check with the retailer, my hoops came with the 20mm and qr plugs.

Slogo, I'm slightly jealous as I was led to believe that hope will only use the black hubs on their own wheel builds...would have loved me some shiny red!
