A question of hubs (Hope)

[GrumpyGregry]

Am I right in thinking that Hope hubs are convertible from QR to Maxle-lite by changing the end caps?

I fancy some new hoops, have a yen for some Hope jobs but want to run them on current bike with QR and be able to put them on any maxle equipped future n+1

Pro 2s? You just swap the caps, apparently. CRC sell the conversion kits.

yes they are, I was speaking to the Hope tech guys this morning to verify before I commit to my suspension for purchase.

Are you building a new bike to sell then, Al?

hope have silly loud freehubs - very anti-social if group riding!

The silly loud freehubs are a big selling point for me!

let's hope you ride alone then - I find it very annoying on club runs when people have loud freehubs - what's the point of cycling in the countryside with all that noise - might as well ride next to the M1, or Stansted airport! People tend to freewheel more group riding (unless they are on the front) which only adds to the problem.

Hopefully silly loud enough to frighten off stoopid welsh sheep well before I arrive!

Hi-viz doth offend mine eye. Especially off road in the countryside.

Loud freehubs doth offend thine ear.

Takes all sorts.

Tell me about it, I regret speccing them on the OP's I'm currently running on my road bike

Pro 11 Evo certainly are. You can get QR, 9mm thru axle(I run a 9mm thru-axle QR on mine on standard QR dropouts) , 15mm and 20mm converters for the front, and for the rear you can get a standard QR, 10mm thru-axle QR and a bolt thru that needs a a different converter. They are literally end caps that pop out and refit to fit the different axle shape. The rear bolt thru needs a more expensive converter kit.

I don't think there's any difference between kits for Pro 11 and Pro11 Evo by the way.
