Any one tried fitting a SRAM 11 speed cassette to a Hope Pro 2 early NOT EVO hub? Is is possible to fit the XD freehub body to the early Pro 2 that is set up for a 10mm bolt through axle?
When you say 10 mm bolt thru do you mean the one with fun bolts at each end?
I actually have one of these:

Would you not have to change the axle to the Evo kit, with 10mm end caps?
It's possible but you have to upgrade the hub to EVO spec by fitting the XD freehub body, the EVO axle, EVO 135x10 end caps and changing the 2 remaining bearings for EVO ones.
justridingalong do a kit with everything needed including the xd freehub.
Here's the [url= http://www.justridingalong.com/pro-ii-evo-upgrade-kit.html ]link[/url] for the justridingalong kit.
However I can buy a complete new EVO with the XD freehub for £139. [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/hope-pro2-evo-sram-xd-11-speed-mtb-rear-hub/ ]Pro 2 EVO XD Hub[/url]
That makes a new one £22 more than the conversion although I will have to factor in a wheel build at £20.
The last time I checked used Pro 2 hubs were selling at more than £50 so that's the way for me.
Cheers all for your input.
