So - I want to stiffen up the rear end of my Orange 5 (insert joke here) and am just wondering which conversion kit I need for a Hope pro2 rear hub? I did the front QR to 9mm conversion on my hardtail and just needed to change the adaptors. Is it the same on the rear or do I have to swap out the axle like with those nasty maxle things?
Oh and are the Superstar 10mm QRs as reliable/good as DT swiss ones?
You need this

Bit cheaper here.

I have both the DT and the superstar.
The DT and the SS are both good.I have a mint DT if you want one.

So do you have to swap out the axles or is it just the end caps?
Edit - http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/pro2-rebuild - pretty much answers my question. Maybe should have done a search before asking 🙂
That wiggle one is not correct, you need the kit with the axle like the CRC one linked a few posts up...
hugo.As your in oz it,s probably cheaper to buy a new one. 😉
