Hope hub ID

[bod]

I've managed to order the wrong bloody spokes for a wheel I'm building for a mate coz I'm well clever...
Any ideas what this fella is? It's before a Bulb which is when my knowledge begins but other than that I've not got a scooby.

Yes,
I'm also so stupid I can't even embed an image in my posting... Don't worry about explaining it, I'll only forget.
At least it's the weekend tomorrow...

You can't even link to it either, let alone embed!

Yes! In the words of that Lee bloke on telly I is well retarded.
It's got a old green sticker, and the disc mount is joined to the flange rather than there being a gap. Could be an XC? Fuggit

Hope XC (disc) and Hope Mono (none disc) came before the Pro2's/Pro3
They evolved from the Ti-Glide (which had a titanium central sleeve and not a one piece Alu body) an it's FatSo/Suspension/Lightweight counterpart front hub.

There was also the Bulb which is a beefed up XC. It has ridges around the body like the Pro2 afaik.


Your link might not be made public and so only you can see it ?
I can only see knife and pedal directories.

Well spotted, it should be viewable now.
It's not a Bulb and I'm not too sure it's an XC because of the way the disc mount is joined to the flange rather than there being a gap.
Thanks for the advice so far and humouring me

looks like a late 'sport' hub to me, I have early ones with the spline disc mount, I did see a late one in a shop with 6 bolt disc mounts. They were the cheaper version of the Ti glide with a one piece hub body & a steel free hub body instead of Ti. I think they stopped making them when the XC came out.

That's the fella, finally found a pic of one with the same sticker and body shape.
Thanks for your help guys, fingers crossed I order the right spokes this time...

Not sure what the Sport looks like, but that's similar to my mono which is similar to the XC without the disc mount part.

It's all the same internally, the frrhub body didn't change.


XC came with Steel or Ti freehub body.

You'll not be far out on spoke lenth wither way, the flange diameters are similar. The rim makes the largest difference.

What rims by the way ?
