I am looking to build a light-weight wheelset for a Tallboy that I building with a Fox TALAS fork. Does anyone know what light-weight front hubs will accept the 15QR axle?

Those aren't light. How about Tune or Extralite hubs?

Considering the Tune King 20mm thru axle hub weighs 144gms, it's not likely that they will be lighter than the 15mm 240s at 127gms if Tune actually get around to making a 15mm hub.

I consider them to be light. You did not set a weight limit.

Claimed wt on the AM is 116g. Let you keep some weight in your wallet, too.

That Tune King looks beautiful! Does the Tune Princess accept a 15QR axle?
