Hello,

Searching online but just keep getting new wheels etc. After a conversion kit to convert my Pro II rear hub to a Pro II Evo as I understand standard Pro II's fail with 12 mm axles and new bike has the new 142x12 axle standard.

    its a right pain, you need a new evo freehub, new axle, new bearings and obviously the end caps, adds up to nearly £100, so imo unless you need to replace the freehub and bearings anyway, i'd just change the axle to the steel one hope have for the old pro2, its marginally heavier but wont break, i snapped my axle on a 135x12 maxle and this is wht hope issued as a replacement, tbf i thought their customer service was quite poor, were not interested in offering the new axle as a replacement and the other parts at cost price, this has been a problem for years and they still dont like to admit it, hence why they made the evo...
