Hi,

Is it possible to convert a rear Hope 135mm QR to 170mm QR ?

I think it's a a Hope 2 hub, at work so bike is not in front of me.

Thanks

No, a 135mm hope hub can only be converted to 142/148. If you want to stick with hope I believe they have a fatbike specific version

I guess in theory you could swap the bearings and freehub from a 135mm hub shell into a 170mm hub shell with the appropriate replacement axle. Tho I don't know if Hope supply hub shells as spares.
