Hope Pro 2 Front hub

[Jay]

b ulbs r what ime running at the monemt, ive only had 12yeays use out of them without a single issue

Thwats what upsertting me is they must have about 10 years life left in them lol
but as yuo say the pro 2s look a bling hub

Right You! Get that keyboard sorted or get outta here!!
I'm no ttoler atin greadingt hatp iss

Gc

sorry i blame the wireless keyboard

Normally Stella or Budweiser that does it to me
Anyway, Im using a Pro II on the front, easy as pie to service/replace bearings & simple as to change from 20mm - qr in no time with minimal fuss.
I know now that the wheels I have, will be coming to the next bike with me! just because of the flexibility of the front hub
Gc

Looks like pro 2 it is then will keep my eye on flea bay

cheers for the reply guys

If you don't have the ProII yet, look out for Bulb fronts (on e-bay and SDH), a lot cheaper, can also be converted from 20mm to qr and bearings are readily available.

I guess you already know that though :roll:

I've got Pro2s on my modern bike and they're superb, especially the rear as it clicks so loudly you don't have to shout at people to let them know you're coming!

i must say thats 1 thing i adore about hope's a proper free wheel. My bulbs still sound new even after 12 year's of abuse. Ha. Sign of quality in my opinion

Yeah,
I bought a rear to match my front from mrjolly (a member on here)
He had very kindly serviced the freehub before sending it off to me,
But it was almost silent so I stripped it again and used less grease to get the awsome "CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK" from it
Tarty but so so neccesary

I've 6 bolt Bulbs, 20mm conversion, run 203's and have no probs. Maybe, as you say, it's the spider. SO, 6 bolt Bulb hubs would/could be good for you?

(just thinking of a cheaper alternative to the ProII's, sorry).

There's a Red Hope Bulb built onto a Mavic 823 with a Michelin DH16 tyre for £50 on SDH. You have to be a member to view it though.
