I'm in the process of converting my rear pro II QR axle to a 12mm axle, all has gone fine, except the freehub literally will not fit over the axle, it seems to have an ever so slightly wider outer diameter than the QR axle - this shouldn't be normal right? The freehub should just slide over it...

    have you measured?

    burrs or any other bits removed?

    I don't have a vernier caliper or anything, really should get one...

    And I haven't had a go but I didn't think there were any burrs on it - but i'll give it a but of a go with some sandpaper i guess

    Never mind, was just a tight fit, went on alright after I gave it a bit of a sand down.
