I've got a 135mm, QR pro2 evo QR coming and I need to put a conversion kit into it to get it a 135mm bolt on.

Which kit do I need?

One specifically states it's for the Pro2 evo hubs, but in the description they both say they'll work with a P2 evo.

And they don't look like the same axle.

Which one do I need?

"One specifically states it's for the Pro2 evo hubs"

The description is used on all of the conversion kits...

 

[wolfrider]

I would go with the first link, that has pro 2 evo in the title... otherwise, call them.

Doesn't someone on this site shill for them?

if you have a 10mm axle lying around just get the 10x135 thru axle end caps and save half your money, why **** around with separate threaded bolts for each side of the hub? i've never understood that method of attachment.

 

[Verskis]

The Pro2 and Pro2 Evo hubshells are the same, the only difference is the axle and bearings. So if you are going to change the bearings too, either one should fit there with the correct bearings, but if you are using the old ones, get the one for the Evo.

 

[kidwoo]

It's a brand new hub so I don't need to change bearings.......and I don't have a 10mm axle so I need the full kit.

The second option is cheaper so I was just hoping I could skimp a little.

Number one it is.

Thanks guys!

Yeah if you bought the 2nd, it would have a thinner axle and wouldn't work with your existing internals.

The change in the Evo is that it uses an updated thicker internal axle, because the old ones could break (mostly in 150 guise). The bearings in the new hub are slightly smaller to allow this, as the shell remained the same.

When I changed from QR to 10mm through axle on a rear pro2 evo (prebuilt into hope hoops) I just needed endcaps, same as i9 hubs. No tools from memory (besides me).

 

[Udi]

He wanted bolt-on 10mm, not through - so the axle needs to be internally threaded to take the bolts, thus new axle... to my knowledge anyway.

Thanks man. This is going on a dirt jumper so that's good to know.

So it would also be this kit right? I have the Pro 2 EVO as well

[Wobbler]

No, thats for a normal pro2, you can see the change in axle diameter where the freehub body starts. The evo ones are the same from the main hub bearings out to the freehub.Crc does not appear to have the evo bolt on rear conversion at the moment.

You're most welcome...

Edit: NM, I was thinking of the 12x142 conversion, which was just endcaps.

Thanks guys!
