[Closed] How to go 10mm bolt thro rear axle?

Don't have links but Hope adapters are on CRC and then just get the 10mm bolt thu from Superstar.

Takes 10 minutes.

Thanks Rachel 🙂

For a regular pro 2 (Not the EVO)you will require new end caps and a new axle.

This should be the kit you need

to swap the axle you will need a mallet and either the hope tools for setting the bearings or suitable sockets.

Thanks Mac. Bit cheaper than CRC 🙂 Can't believe how cheap the SS QR's are..

I've a used Hope Pro 2 Rear 10mm Thru Conversion Kit and a brand new black ss 10mm qr thru axle in black do the pair for 21 posted mate

I've got the Superstar 10mm QR bolt thru axle on their Switch hubs which was very easy and quick to change from normal QR, I'm sure the Hope hub is just as easy.

The SS quick releases aren't great. As trivial as it sounds, its flippin hard to do the nut up and the part that fits between the lever and the frame doesn't rotate with the lever meaning you're sometimes clamping down with the lever not sat correctly. Before I bought it I read a review on the SS website from someone saying about the nut not being able to be turned very well and thought that they were just making a mountain of a mole hill but it really is a niggly little pain in the ass.

Suppose you get what you pay for - its good for the money, not soo good vs the competition.

Have you thought about the 10mm bolt up from hope got my kit new of ebay which contains axle, end caps and bolts for £25 much more secure and easier to deal with than the ss qr's
