Thanks

You'd need a custom axle I think. Are the hubs definitely not convertible? If not its still probably cheaper to swap hubs

Sorry,it's Sunday morning,you're right al,you may find that that they use an adapter for 15mm as Google says they sell them in 20mm ,15mm and QR.in which case removing the adapter may well do it, as the default is usually 20mm.

Thanks
