Hi I'm looking to buy a secondhand rear pro 2 hub. It is advertised as 135x12. Is it possible to convert it to 9mm qr with the use of converters like the front ones?

Thanks Nathan

If you're buying the bits then I'd consider 10mm bolt thru for extra stiffness. The axle and caps will cost you the same, just add a superstar 10mm quick release. I've actually got both options in the garage doing nothing after a change to 142x12.....

I have an axle & end caps for qr if you're interested in it. Easy job to convert, 10 or 15 minutes work at most.

That said, unless you have a good reason to use 9mm qr, daveh's suggestion is a good one.

I'd probably set aside a bit more time, my experience says that everything inside will be clogged with accumulated filth that'll need some time consuming cleaning prior to re-assembly. It'll also be a good idea to change the pawl springs too, they have a fairly short lifespan, and at £3 a set, infinitely preferable to being stranded miles from home with no drive.
