I'm looking to buy a pair of used hope hubs
can they be converted?
not seen one but I doubt it - the shell is probably wider (unless they just have a massive spacer on the non-drive side)
Nah, fraid not
You can swap axle diameter on their hubs but not width. The reason 150 came to be was for wider flannel spacing to make a stronger wheel. As above, the shells are different
You can yes
I did a swap the other way round on saturday and still have the old axle and end pieces in a bag
sancho you sure it wpuld seem easier to make a hub wider with spacers but you cannot make it narrower with spacers.
Sure;y the size refers to the size?
Does with hope for example
thought he meant he had a 150mm axle.
and was using the wide spacers.
anyone tried those DtSwiss bolt thru jobbies?
