Hub Sizes.

Hey all,
I am looking at buying a new rear hub for my Norco Ryde.
At the moment I have a stock KT 135 x 10 mm nutted, 8 spd 32h hub. (Single speed converted)
As this is my first time buying a new hub, I'm a bit confused about all the sizes.
I was looking at buying a Hope Pro 2 Evo hub and they offer them in a standard http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60997and a 10mm bolt up.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60999
Now I get that 135 is how long it is and 10mm is the inner diameter thing, but which hub do I buy?
Because the images displayed on CRC don't look like this type of hub http://lp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb3209185/p4pb3209185.jpg ( This isn't my hub, but it is the same where the bolt comes out)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You have the option of buying a bolt-up hub or a quick-release hub. The bolt up hub uses bolts to tighten it into the dropout, unlike yours which uses nuts. The QR one uses a quick release skewer. Your Ryde frame uses horizontal dropouts, yeah? So get the bolt up one. It will hold in place much better.

Yeah I see now, thanks haha.
I think I will go with the bolt up, and yeah it is horizontal dropout.
Cheers.
