Im going to upgrade the forks on my 2012 trance x4, most probably with fox talas 150 however the axle required for this fork is the 15QR setup,will i have to change my wheels to suit? also if i get a new wheelset, which takes the 15qr axle,will the rear wheel still fit the frame? or do i need to get a 9mm rear and 15 front. Thanks in advance Kev |

I'm looking at various used hope hubbed wheel sets on ebay at present, as the difference between a new and a used set is the cost of a upgraded rear shock. Are rear wheels a standard size or do I need to find out certain measurements for that too? |

You can get different widths of reAr hubs( 135mm or 142mm) but I think the most poPular are 135mm. If you take your rear wheel oi and measure the gap between the drop outs |
