  • FH-M800

    You mean HB-M800, and no. The bearing units screw into the hubshell in a freaky way which precludes an economic modification.

  • Thanks. looking at the technical drawings from shimano I thought as much.
    A bodge would be to file some mms off the axle tube and plug it with some other brands 20mm to 9mm converters.
    But I'd probably die riding it.

  • To do it properly, you'd have to dismantle the bearing units and turn 5mm off each in a lathe. Plus a bit to clear the dropouts, since the fat stub probably wouldn't fit a QR fork. Far more trouble than it's worth.
