Peperami Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Why not just get a pro 2 and sell your heavy ass rear hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not sure if all the engagments would line up, so you could be using only 1 pawl at a time.Try it and tell us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yeah, isn't that the same thing?Sorry if it isn't, im quite new to rear drive.Well was just a bit confused as to what you meant. I'm not entirely sure about the dimensions being similar enough to work together, the pro2 has a 6 speed freehub I think, whereas the xc will likely be able to take up to 9. Also unsure about the axles but I'd reckon they may be different. If you want to try it I can measure my pro 2 for you and then will know if it's doable.

Luke Rainbird Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 If I remember correctly, the XC ratchet ring only has 21 teeth, but the Pro II has 24, which would cause issues with alignment (not going to do the maths, but you may end up with lots of weaker engagements at uneven intervals). You may be able to replace the XC ratchet ring with a 24t ring from a Pro II.I'd imagine the 6/9 speed freehub issue would cause problems too, and the axles may be tricky to make workWould make for a good project, but look into what would be involved before you commit to anything just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
