My SS bike suffers a bit from flex in the frame and forks when out of the saddle.

A 9mm DT RWS front skewer has helped the front and was thinking a rear may help too.

The dropouts are horizontal and the rear hub is a Pro 2 EVO.

With the right hub end caps a 135x10 DT RWS should fit ..... non?

Yeah, I think so, I've got the screw in bolts on my pro 2 evo which needed a change of axle. Phone Hope to check.

On my previous frame - Trek 4 series, it was as noticeable as the upgrade to RWS on the fork.

Yep, although if you run a qr at the moment, you'll have to change the hub axle.

Pro 2 can be converted to 10mm bolt up axle as per the trials hub. Will be stiffer than a 10mm through axle.

@GFJ yes I was aware of those and that would be ideal but for the fact I can’t deal with the need to rebuild the hub 😬

Also looking to keep the weight down ☺️

Pro2 Evo is Just change of end caps.
I've used DT Swiss axle and Superstar, both make an improvement.
