I bought a pair of Hope hoops 2nd hand, they are Pro2 evo hubs on ZTR Flows. The guy who I bought them off had it set up 20mm front and 142 x 12 rear. He has given me a bag of bits with it as I have a bike which runs standard QR front and rear.
The front was an easy swap of the 20mm to qr adapters where as I cant see how the rear is supposed to work. I can get the drive side adapter off but the non drive side black adapter wont budge.
Is there a different kit I need as I notice you can buy replacement axles and they sell ones for 142 and 135.
So my question is what do I need to change from a 142 to 135 QR set up?
Regards

They just pull out. Try a vice or mole grips.
The NDS may require a tweak in a vice or suchlike.
I swapped out mine from 142x12 to 135x9 with no issue.
It is definitely an Evo isn't it?
Yeah def an Evo. I just youtube'd 'hope pro2 evo 142 to 135' and a vid comes up where a guy removed the drive side apapter and then ****s out the axle presumably with the non drive side adapter still on.
So, do I need to get a new axle for 142 to 135, **** out the old axle, swap the bearings, put the QR adapters on and off i go?

These are Pro 2 Evo 135 x QR end caps. Black one on the disc side, silver on the drive side. They just press on to the axle, the same way as the 142 x12 do. I swap mine occasionally to get my otherwise 142x12 axle wheel in the QR only truing stand. You don't need to even think about pissing about with the axle, leave it where it is. Sometimes need a bit of persuasion with mole grips or in a vice though.
Hope that helps
Cool, those are the things I have. I am going to have some stern words with the non drive side adapter now and see what happens.
Give it hell!
A pair of long nosed pliers down inside the axle hole and a bit of waggling usually does it. Spot of spray lube won't do any harm
Wrap it in a bit of old tube to get grip and not to cause damage so that it looks good to sell on 😉
what do you intend running the rear as?
Just a thought!!
I bought what i thought to be a 2nd hand evo rear hub and bought some adaptors for it. It turned out to be just a pro 2 but had a new body from Hope under warrantee and I needed to buy a new axle in the end..
