Hopes pro 3 rear hub - can I convert from 130 to 135?

[ishaw]

I just found a set of pro 3 hubs pretty cheap so took the punt hoping that I canconvert the rear from 130 to 135 as you can buy them in the 135 size.

I'm hoping someone can confirm that this is possible and also what bits I'd need to do it.

Cheers

hope that helps

for ref hope got the part number wrong its HUB432N is the part u need in black or HUB432S in silver

Cool, so it's just a spacer rather than a new axle needed then? The hubs are black so black would be better but I'm not that fussy and could happily live with silver.

Is the free hub the same as a pro 2 or pro 2 evo do you know?

Pro 2 EVO Rear Hub
Pro 3 Mono Rear Hub

both have the same freehub part number hub520

Cool, I think i have a spare free hub so that's a bonus. Just need to find the spacers, some spokes and I'll attempt to do some wheel building (which will probably result in more questions, a fair stab at lacing the wheels and a trip to the lbs to finish off properly).
