Hope hubs

[The Ken]

I only really know about the early stuff as that's when I bought it - the new fangled titanium hubs came later

First discs became commercially available and didn't use spiders in 91 but some prototypes were released earlier (I think for tandems).

Spiders came out very early in 92 still along side the solid discs, I think what you got depended on whether you ordered anodised or plain hubs, the plain ones being the newer type.

The calipers initially were cast and hand finished - cnc calipers came in in 93 I think.

The DH timeline goes

Big Un - Moto style flanges - in Qr and 20mm on the front, 2 types of adapter and 2 types of shell, earlier ones were fatter centres
5 Bolt pattern - ti freehub saved (ludicrious) weight

BULB (Big Uns Little Brothers) - Smaller more conventional but with larger flanges intially 5 bolt with screw on's ala the Ti-glides - laterally with 6 bolt
Available in QR and 20mm on the front, 135 and 150 and QR / 12 mm both thru on the rear. Ti and Steel (only later versions) freehubs

Sports later again, cheaper version of the Bulbs - 6 Bolt only combos as above

Would need to check my Hope cats for the years but I got my big uns in 95 or 95 and they were the original style as I had a slimmer style front later as a spare

Ti-Glide, later model (notice the slight wave in the drive side flange, hence I call it the wavy version)

Hope shoudl have the diagram now, there are also quite a few threads on bearing changes.

Same, other than the shell as Ti-Glide/Mono/XC

4x 6001 bearings in there (get 60012RS )
ebay sell them or CRC etc
