Title: 057 - Rear hubs and axles/internal cables/post mount bolts....
Post by: lukedwr on July 15, 2014, 08:28:40 PM

So i'm getting some stans on hope pro 2 evos , am i right in thinking (as it is 142x12) i need the 2 conversion cap thingys and then a 12mm axle? And can I use a shimano axle? (unless someone knows of a better one!)

As I'm not using the front der, should i leave the internal cable holes open or plug them?

And finally, what size are the post mount bolts as i've got the adaptors for my mini monos but need 2 more bolts.

Thanks

Yes, for convertible hubs, typically all you need are the end caps to convert them to the 12x142 standard.

Yes e-Thru axle, which I believe is a Shimano standard, is the axle you need for the IP-057.  You can also order the axle from Peter at XMIplay.  A bit cheaper and similar to the Shimano part.

I just left the holes open, doesn't seem to hurt anything.  I'll never use the holes so it didn't matter much to me if debris got in the holes.

Maybe ask Peter@XMIplay can tell you what size bold fits the F/D post mount holes.

I am pretty sure the post mount bolts need to M6 - you would want 10mm.
