Hi all I'm new to the forum and have a question if I may?
I bought a hope xc hub on eBay it's in good nic and working order but it has a 12mm bolt through axle and I wondered if there is any where or any way you can change it to a qr it's 135mm wide anyone shed some light would be much appreciated cheers
It won't be an XC if it has a bolt through axle, possibly a BULB if it looks similar. If it is, you'll need a new axle and end caps(possbly new bearings too, from a niggling thought in the back of my mind), check Hope's tech section on their site for details.
Edit- if it is a Bulb, you'll need a 6001-2rs bearing, an axle, and spacers, part no.s HUB208,HUB411,& HUB407, unable to get onto their dealer site at the moment to check if they're still available.

Finally got the dealer site to load, all parts still listed as available, but not a guarantee as obsolete parts don't always get deleted.
Hi guys thanks for the help it has a BL code on it it was advertised as xc I will get on to hope and try and track the bits down
