I've just replaced my old Hope XC hub with a pro II evo (both QR).

I've noticed on the new evo that the axel appears shorter as there is a small 10mm gap between the frame and the inside of the hub.

Is this normal?

Should both be 135 Shirley?

10mm is nonsense. It's more like 1-2mm

Frame is 135mm and hub is also meant to be however there is a small 1-2mm gap which results in the frame being pulled in

Just measured the frame spacing and its 137mm, hence why the 2mm gap.

Its a 4 year old stiffee.

Is it allright just to pull the frame in with the new wheel
