Decided to blow the dust of my Transition Bandit 26'er and not worry that my wheels are not 27.5" or 29"....

I thought I would tart it up a little and utilise some fine Mavic rimmed, Hope Pro2 hubbed wheels also gathering dust.

So, as the rear end is 12 x 142 on the Bandit then is it as simple as buying and fitting Hope
Hope HUB231 kit?

Thanks all.

Yes, on the non-Evo you need to swap the axle, so HUB231 looks OK.

I might actually have a 142 kit somewhere... But do remember that Pro 2s with 12mm axles aren't very good, the axle is thin and has a massive stress riser in it so they break a lot even in light use (last time i broke one Hope sent me 2 replacements "for next time it happens")

You can convert the whole hub to Evo spec but that's a fair bit more expensive
