If I bought a new set of wheels for my Anthem I'd like to put the old ones on my hardtail Kona. They are 15mm though so won't fit the QR Tora's on the Kona. So, if I could find some second hand lowers as long as I don't go for anything like Lyrics, Darts or Boxxers are they interchangable?

Tora's are 120mm travel with springs. Other thing is how common is it to see second hand lowers for sale?

Having taken a few apart in my time, that's what I thought though I've never compared them side by side. Thanks Rob!

Now, do second hand ones ever come up? it's not really worth spending over £100 on some new ones.
