Hope QR to 10mm.... parts required and dropouts

dynamis_dk

Using something like the two below, can i convert a standard 135mm hope bulb hub to take a 10mm QR and still run it in standard dropouts??

10mm kit - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=18761
10mm QR - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=21670

Might be intrested in doing it on my jackflash play bike am building up.

a standard 135 QR hub is 10mm.

but looking at the products you want to run a 10mm through axle in the hub?
and then fit the DT QR 10mm axle.

and you are willing to spend 64 Quid to do so.

mad.

lol, just looking at options really... depends on bike rides really if its fine on standard QR's than i'll leave alone.

just get the Qr holes threaded to take some bolts.

or as Hope called it their threaded hub.

dynamis_dk

oh right, so then you just bolt directing into the hub on each side, rather than having anything running the centre of the axle?

Not really a good plot.

The 10mm bolt-up rear conversion replaces the axle and end caps - the threaded holes are in the axle, not the end caps.

If you were to thread out a standard 135mm qr hub you'd be putting a thread in the end caps which don't have enouigh meat in them to take a decent thread. And that notwithstanding the fact that you then have zero structural rigidity anyway becasue the hub would only be held in by the end caps at both sides, not by something passing all the way through the hub.

and sorry dave it does make quite a difference.


in the days before the through axle on the rear it was a good workable soulution

I originally ran it on the Old high octane scott and now have it on an HT as the wheel were sat doing nothing.



yes a but different but they work just fine. strength stonger than the QR axle as the ends are solid
