Info on older hope hubs?

[foz]

I'm looking for info on an older model hope rear hub. I will post a pic here when I can, but so far googling has not thrown up any pics. It's not super old or rare so don't get excited
It's a rear road hub, at least I think it's road, might be MTB non-disc with a different end cap to make it 130mm? There is no info on the hope page, but does anyone know of a source of photos or details on all the previous hope hub models? I only want to know as I'd like to find a campag freehub body for it if possible

There's a big "Hope History/Timeline" thread somewhere on the forum.

Edit: ahh... It was the Hope disc timeline thread I was thinking of.
Interesting read though if you're a Hope-ist...

This thread may be more useful....

Timeline of 1990's Hope hubs...?

I've searched online and I can only find vague information on the timeline of 90s hope, hubs specifically. I'd like a timeline year by year of hope titanium hubs, starting from the very first hub, and titanium hubs, listing the year of release of all the variations and changes. This should help...

Foz is it to replace the bearings?

 

[foz]

No, bearings are fine but I'd like a campag freehub if there's one that will fit

Ah - that’s not too complex actually. The ancient freehub bodies come up quite regularly on eBay. What you need to do is pull off the freehub and get the vernier gauge out - measure the axle diameter, bearings, etc - one may well come up…I had an old bulb hope hub and someone pit a ti freehub up and didn’t know what it was, I could iD it from the measurements and it was great to have it

Come on get that picture up.

Probably a mono or newer (might have the code on it) but hese are 2000+ type hubs.
If older it could be interesting.

The older 90s catalogue s are in the Archive and also some recently posting in the catalogue section of the forum from turn of the 00s era.
