Convertible hubs on Superfly 100?

So i've got a 2011 Superfly 100 with the stock Bonty Race Lite wheelset.
I'm looking at the viability of converting the front end to a QR15 setup.

Checked out the specs on the Bonty website but didn't get much from it.
I will be checking with my Trek LBS this week but thought I would check on here to see if anyone has an answer?

Apparently the hubs are DT made, so presumably if it is able to be converted to QR15, then it may be easier to get the necessary parts.

Thanks for any help!

DT Onyx hubs? I doubt these are convertible to anything.

don't think bonty hubs are made by dt swiss anymore.
i run i-9 wheels on my fly 100 and converted my f29 to 15mm by replacing the lowers.
i suggest selling the race x lites and going with a different wheel set; you could probably get 2/3rds of what you need to pay for a far superior wheel set (such as i-9's or c.k.'s or dt 240's with stans rims)... just my suggestion
