Is it ok to use 10-14mm axle converters on the front wheel of my bike?

I've used them on the rear before. Just wanted to check, as I might be able to get a set of bargain forks for my racer that have 14mm dropouts.

cheers guys

Should be just fine although I prefer the 10/14 tophat type...

yea, no problem.
what racing forks have 14mm drops?

I have a mid school Mongoose Pro Class (More like special needs class!) sat here with 14mm drops...

None that I know of.

but a guy is selling UK bike co Budda boom forks for next to nothing, and they are only 2 grams heavier than odyssey race forks.

thought I might give em a go!
