i have a meta 5.5.3 2009
and want to put an axle in the rear wheel in order to add some stiffness.
in the manual it says that is accepts 10mm x 135 or 12mm x 135.
it also has the dropouts.
so do i need a [b]10mm[/b] or a [b]12mm[/b] hub?
which of these two rear hubs would you reccommend?

I ride the same. Currently upgraded both wheels to Hope Pro II (excellent build, completely serviceable, loads of adapters). I'm going to run a 9mm thru axle on the front and a 12mm thru rear.

I only just found out that rear qr is 10mm anyway (thought it was 9mm like the front) so the dropouts can be left in for a 10mm thru conversion. A 12mm setup will need the corresponding dropouts of course.
I considered 10mm thru rear and thought I may as well go the whole hog; I'll only end up doing it eventually anyway! I've got my wheels off the classifieds here: £52 front, £85 rear but I need to get adapters, axle for the rear hub and thru axles for both. I like the look of the non QR rear 12mm on superstar's site 54g! They'll get some in mid next month.
i think that the front hub that has the bike from the factory (commencal hub) takes an axle.
do you know?
Not sure, maybe dismantle yours to see?
