Thanks, Joe. I'm currently using the hub with the Homer, so it wouldn't need a new axle. My understanding -- and I could most certainly be wrong -- is that the longer freehub would simply replace the existing one and that the wheel would still fit the frame but that the (slightly?) wider cassette might not have the clearance from the frame (and chainstay?) to function. Hoping that a photo to DT Swiss may help.
