That’s what I was looking at doing, having a couple of sets of wheels with the same make/model rotors and cassettes mounted and that will stay, just swapping the whole wheel, not rotors and cassettes every time. Years ago I tried this with a set of Chris King hubs and a set of wheels with Hope...

I’m building a new (old parts) bike and using a wheel set with Hope XC disc hubs. I have thought about having a couple of wheel sets for this bike so I can easily change for different tyres for different riding and also use on a turbo trainer. Question is, can I buy an old Hope wheel set using...

Yes, this would have been the later, think from about 97 onwards, but can remember the two designs running side by side in the line up - the design of the Pro was lower down the range and the Ultimate was higher up. There was also another design where you could alter where the shock was fixed to...

I saw these in the shops all those years ago, would have been around 95-96. Attached pic is a slightly later Rock n Roll Ultimate I have, although it’s in bits at the moment and is actually pretty heavy. I’m currently building up a Alu Ultimate. I’m sure when I saw these, think they had LX/XT...

Thanks all for the reply’s. I’ve never been one to go through bike parts let alone frames through abuse - they tend to either wear out or be upgraded. I think the plan will be to use the newly built hard tail for a while then start using the Yeti once I’ve shed a few pounds. I have a soft spot...

Hi All, I have a Yeti ASR SL I built a fair few years ago and haven’t used much (not at all in about 5 years). I’m looking at starting to get back on my bike again and in the middle of building up an old Muddy Fox hard tail to play about on. The worry I have is if I use the Yeti (I currently...

Re: I remember seeing these in the shop I bought my Alu Comp from, about 1996? these would have been about £350 I think, but if I remember very heavy. I still have my Alu Comp. Also have a Rock n Roll Ultimate, which was about £2500 when new from the same era, but the pivots and bushes are...

Re: dibs on the red Pace forks pending pics? if Northern Dave didn't want.

Re: have a bump.

Re: Re: Yep, saw that thread before posting, but you've given me exactly what I need to see if using Hope hubs would be any better than the kings. Really don't want to take a file to the forks as they are mint. Thanks!

Im in the process of building a Yeti ASR up and I have used a DT Swiss Carbon XMC 120 suspension fork with Hope E4 calipers/Hope saw rotors with Chris King hubs, this combination looks great, but the rotor catches the forks drop out at the moment where the caliper mounts are. Question is how...

Re: I have the same frame, in a smaller size, started to build it up but went for a carbon frame instead. Before that I have a MF Alu Comp, this lookd exactly the same frame as the Team Edition, but is in a nice blue, got it around 1995 to 96, it gave a decent ride, but was very stiff. Came...
