Hope axle question

[~James~]

Hey guys, so I snapped the axle in my Hope Pro II hub, it's a 8/9 speed 10mmX135mm one. The original axle was a female bolt style one, you just screw 2 bolts in to the ends. I bought a replacement axle off CRC, a '135mm 10mm through axle' and when I got it I noticed that there was no thread to accommodate for this female bolt system that I had previously. I've come to the conclusion that it takes a 10mm through axle. This leads to the question, what style through axle do I need? Hope don't seem to sell one? I was thinking something along the lines of the one that Hadley hubs use, which looks like this:

My LBS was closed today, being boxing day and all, but i was after a recommendation of where I can get one of these from, if it's the right one, and also how much it should cost me.

Thanks in advance,
James.

Hope make a "10mm through axle"




and a "10mm Bolt Up axle"


for the hope II hubs... sounds like you want the "bolt up" one... well, spanky thinks you do... does this help at all?

Thanks for that, yeah I was after the bolt up one, but I just thought that the replacement axle that I bought would be the same bolt up one as I had previously, but this obviously isn't the case Ah well, I'll just stick with the through axle option now, but I'm just after a through axle that will work with the Pro II.

Thanks Spanky <3

Funnily enough, I was riding to Hungry Jacks to get lunch, I went to pedal to hop a speed bump, and yeah, story here :

Your riding a Trials rear hub arn't you???

I think you need the right axle for this hub not just the standard Pro 2 axle.... from memory

I've pulled apart my Hopes many times and never thought i'd break an axle ...........but behold

I've also got a 12mm through axle axle and a 12mm stainless bar that I made to convert it to
10mm collecting dust here

Nah it's just the normal 8 speed one, with a SS kit on it. Thanks anyway though!

The Hadley axle will work fine. And with the little notch on there, you only need a 6mm allen key to take off your wheel.
