Beware the 12 x 135mm Hope unless it's an EVO hub... they break regularly as there is not a lot of aluminium left.

New frame 135x12, or just want a stiffer rear end (oo-errrr!) ?

You'll need a 135x12 axle for you hub - bearings remain the same.

If it's the same frame (QR), the Azonic Momentum axle is very handy.

Bobbins. Old-style Pro 2 here, two years abuse and counting.

If that means "It's an EVO Hub" then all you need are two end caps which are about £12.

Running 3 bikes with 135x12 here (Bulb, old Pro2, evo Pro2), and had zero issues with them.

I've not broken an axle for over a year now running the EVO hubs.

Well i've broken 2 9mm hope axles, so not just related to 12mm, this was after 1000's of miles though

12mm as a frame I'm looking at has that and i want to use my existing hub

If you have or know someone with a lathe, just bore out the 10mm QR end caps to 12mm, Simples 😉
