Hope bulb? How can I get this to work!!?

[konaben82]

Folks

I acquired this yesterday off a mate of mine (did a swap) I'd like to use it but it seems to have no guts? Bearings are there and appear to be smooth but is there any way I can get a quick release to run through it?
Or is this it to run with an old style thru axle?

I am also confused as to what model it is, hope bulb?

if i'm right in thinking you seem to be missing the end caps, and that's it-hope still seem to stock most parts so send them an email - they also will help you id it 99% of the time

^^^^ what he says.

you'd be looking for 9 mm q/r adapters, similar to these:

other axle types are avialable, for example:

Similar but not the same

I have a set from a 150mm bulb so dont know if there are any real differences in thickness :?

I'll do u a pic tomorrow

Thanks for the comments, I couldn't remember if these older type hubs took a complete axle or not...

Just dug out the spare 15 mm adapters from my pro 2s and they fit! May even some spare QR ones in my box in the loft...

If anyone has any QR ones laying around please say though as they may be needed if I can't find mine

Front QR on my bulb is an axle as opposed to just end caps. For 20mm it is end caps though cos that is what I am running currently.

 

[konaben82]

Oh right, I will pop my end caps out of my pro 2 (on my main bike) later on and see if they fit..should do as the 15mm ones do...

thanks for the input though gents, it's been a great help!

hi kona ben

pro 2 ones wont fit in ur old hope bulb hub as it will make the spacing between the forks wider than will fit

i think ive got some 20 mm end caps in the spares bin i can check 2moro for u if they fit in the hub

 

[konaben82]

Ah ok, it's quick release ones I'm after really...

Did the item you bought from me arrive ok?

 

[ba57ards]

for the bulb it's a bolt through bit of kit for the qr
had the same issue when I Needed it for one of my builds

Thus why I have the 20mm ones spare
