SP-8 vs. SP-8X

What's the difference?

Need CenterLock. Need normal QR (not QR15). So, I think SP-8X needs axle adapter for normal QR.

SP PL-8 is centrelock + 9mm qr
SP PL-8X is centerlock + 15mm axle, they offer an adapter to use this with a 9mm qr.

The bearings in the X series are a little bigger and the flanges a little taller and further apart. I think the chart also suggests they're slightly more efficient, but they are £50 more and would need the adapter for your fork.

Yeah, they're called Xtreme, presumably for a reason. Would make sense to buy the one with better bearings as the hubs are non user serviceable so longer time before service = better.

But I would need the adapter axle (but that would also make it more versatile should I buy QR15 fork).
