If your fork is 20mm through axel then you have to have a 20mm hub, but some hubs are capable of both. suck as mavis crossmax. they come as 20mm with an adapter for teh quick release scewers. so the answer is YES you will need a new hub.

RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT.

yea you will need a new hub and a 20mm axle. When I got my 2006 Super T I just bought a front wheel with 20mm hub from a guy and my friend gave me the axle.
