Anyone done this or vice versa?
Providing you have the conversion kit how hard is it to do? is it just a case of popping the end caps off like the front or is there more to it than that?
Cheers,
Mark.
If it's anything like the 10mm conversion then you pop the end caps off, take the freehub off, remove the QR axle and the bearings, and put it all together again with the new 12mm axle.
There's a very helpful video about rebuilding a pro2 on the Hope website.
Check out the videos online: there's a good one on one of the DH websites. Basically remove driveside endcap, pull off freehub, bash the axle out towards the non-driveside, remove bearing from axle and bash it all back in in reverse. Don't be afraid to hit it hard!!
If you're after a 12mm axle kit (with endcaps) I have one for sale. £20 from CRC. £15 posted for mine.
