  • No thread, 9mm thru axle, not threaded axle.

  • I dont think a 9mm thru axle (skewer) like this(?):

    is strong enough to be the main axle. You need a axle for your thru axle to go through...

  • You need a axle for your thru axle

    Yo dawg

  • It's not too different than the 9mm tube that's in there at the moment, but will be without the 5mm bits of standard qr at the ends. Looking at a hope pro 2 evo there is a centre tube and the end cap/reducers pass through the bearings and the tube to some degree making enough of an extra axle to run just a standard qr through with it all under tension. I will be knocking up a spacer tube for between the bearings that will hopefully be the right size to be under tension when all clamped up, but there won't be anything passing through the bearings and it in the same way as the hope. Try it and see I guess, I just wish the DMR nutted axle conversion kit actually existed, rather than being vapourware.
