Just to be sure before purchase - all other things being equal if I currently run a rear hub with a QR skewer, can I change to a 10mm bolt through hub without any problems?

Thanks in advance.

Depends weather the brand of hub you buy has that option.

Sorry, maybe didn't explain too clearly - the hub has the option of the 10mm through axle, but I just want to check that it will definitely fit in the standard QR dropouts on the bike.

It definitely will fit fine.

I've been using Hope Pro 2's for years now.

Used to run a 'bolt-thru' with a DT Swiss qr.

Now run a 'bolt-up' as pictured above - all on standard 135mm dropouts.

Yes. I've used Pro2 like that, & now Surly SS hub with a solid 10mm axle.
