Can I run a hope front hub using bolts instead of a quick release?
Hope? Nope. Anything with push-on end caps won't work, because they rely on the skewer or through bolt to hold everything together. Anything with threaded on ends caps and hex broached in the QR bore for disassembly won't work because the hex takes away too much of the material you'd want to tap to take the mounting bolts.

Gotcha. Thanks. But... (And this is just for curiosity) how come their rear hubs have a bolt-in kit - how does that work?
Perhaps the better question would be: are there any front disc hubs meeting this spec off the peg, other than surly ultra new?
Edit: this isn't anything to do with my previous question about doing this on rear hubs... Just a coincidence :)

I mean like a surly ultra new hub. Not like a through axle.
