Thinking of getting a [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21670 ]DT Swiss RWS Thru Bolt[/url] for the rear of my 5, bikes in the garage so I can't measure it yet, so, does anyone know what length I would need? Also, numpty question, but I am assuming the 10mm axle will fit okay?
Need 135mm rear spacing. And should fit fine. Might need a touch of filing to the dropouts to remove the odd burr etc - At least thats what was required with my patriot.
did the same on my 575.. no problems at all no filing and did stiffen it up as well
I have the DT system on one bike and it's fine but was pointed at this >

Cheers!! 🙂
Just ordered the 10mm Pro 2 conversion kit, is this easy to fit? Just been watching the servicing vid on the Hope website, and I don't have the drifts that they use, do you need these when changing the axle, or can you use something else?
So the rear axle in the pro 2's is 9mm and these are all 10mm so I will need a pro 2 conversion as adam mentioned?
Whats the 135mm i see mentioned above? length?
135mm is length, just ordered [url= http://www.rutlandcycling.com/453/Hope-Pro2-Hub---Rear-10mm-Bolt-Thro-Conversion.html ]this[/url] conversion kit, hopefully the correct one!!
