I'm looking into a new wheelset for am/light fr style riding and I like the price of the mavic deetraks.

I want a wheel that can take a qr in front because I run a zoke am1 which can't take a thru-axle.

I would also like the option of getting a 20mm fork in the future but I need wheels bad and my am1 is basically brand new and I don't want to replace it quite yet.

Is the a conversion kit to make 20mm hubs fit into 9mm qr forks so I can get the wheels I want without having to change my fork, while retaining my ability to do so in the future?

Are there light FR wheels than can go either way? (without costing over $500)

Some hubs can be switched between 20mm and 9mm.

Hope Bulb and Pro II
White industries Chub
Dimension
at least one of the CrossMax wheels
among a few others

if you're looking for some tough rims that will do both 20mm and qr, look at the Performance brand LOCOs. $130 on sale now for front rim, $150 for the rear.

Rims need hubs and spokes to be wheels
