If i convert QR to 12mm axle will it fit a standard QR frame?
No, you can do a 10mm axle conversion on standard QR rear drop outs.
Yes, as long as you convert it back to qr before fitting it.
Ok will the hub require new end caps for 10mm?
Yes and hub axle or you can drill them out if its hope hub.
I was thinking about this one.
Do you reckon you can drill a qr pro2 axel to take a 10mm qr.
Yes you can. Done it to front and rear. You can do the end caps too. Its easy with a pillar drill. You can do it in the vice with a hand drill but I wouldn't recommend it. The QR axle has a small reducer in the center. Most of the axle already has a 10mm id. Ive also done one to 12mm. Much trickier to center the axle not having a lathe but as a trial and error experiment, it is still in the hub and on my big bike now.

I,ve got a lathe so i,ll stick it in that and drill it out. 🙂
