[#4085890]

Probably a stupid question - but I have a Pro 2 Evo with a 10mm bolt in rear axle. I quite frequently need to remove the rear wheel when loading it in the car, so am thinking of switching it to a 10mm bolt through, with one of the [url= http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=287 ]Superstar 10mm bolt through axle[/url].

So, will this fit into my BFe dropouts?

Yes. Misunderstood is that standard dropouts are actually 9mm front & 10mm rear. I have 9mm RWS and 10mm RWS on a BFe. I bought 10mm B/T axle but I am told (from here) that you can drill out a standard pro2 rear QR axle to 10mm without too much trouble if you have one. Fronts I just drilled out the std QR adapters from the inside.

Thanks - stupid question, but just wanted to check. Would there be much difference in stiffness between the 10mm QR and the bolt-in?

should be no difference in theory. I have noticed my rear RWS being loose a couple of times - not sure if its because of poor tightening or coming loose, but its a screw up not a clam QR type which personally I think helps take the stupidity factor (me) out of the equation. Susperstar is clam type....
