I've serviced and maintained a few Hope freehubs and all have been two sets of 6001's

This is the first time I've done an older non-Ti freehub
It seems to have 6001 2RS as the oouter,and a 61901 RS for the inner after a circlip. It also in a raised section that has another grove in it.
Now I'm checking if this is correct for this style.
Or some bodge.

Picture to follow if I can get one
 
intrigued :?

Where is this raised section,? inside the freehub? which end

According to their own exploded there should be 2x 6001's in there. But i see in the title of the document its-
Ti Glide Single Circlip Standard :?

Could it be the freehub can be used for either the single circlip as it says or for a circlip at each end :? There wasnt a circlip under the first bearing was there ? Then the internal spacer then the 2nd clip then the 2nd bearing.


Anyone got a metal cutting bandsaw ? :D
 
Picture at last.

When you look into the bulb freehub the outermost bearing appears to overhang :? the spacer tube is visible all the way around and it looks like the innermost bearing may be smaller. Ive one like this that has an exploded bearing in it and was intending to service it at some point.
Ill strip it out tomorrow and see if its similar to that you have there :?
 
bulb uses a different freehub and is much later in design though.

I'm just interested more than anything and if anyone know the actual date switchover to the standard 6001 x2 setup (probably with the Ti freehub)
