Hope XC and Bulb hubs

[m30edd]

Hi,

can anyone tell me how to tell the difference between a Hope XC and Bulb front hub?

Not sure which of these I have.

Kind regards
Edd

The rears look a lot different, but with the fronts it's to do with the shape. I have both. The bulb has a squarer edge especailly on the right hand (actually I think it's the left) side, the cross country is chamfered and has a metal spacer.

I can take some pictures tomorrow if it helps

Pictures would be very helpful, I've sussed out the rears but the front is puzzling me.
Cheers

have a look at these pictures. The 1st is a xc hub.

If you look at the non brake rotor side their is a metal spacer that covers the bearing (it's hard to see being black on black) and has a load of little cuts in it. (sorry for the big link I don't know how to shorten em)
