  1. I am not sure if Hope will STILL cover this for warranty. I did claimed for the first time, Hong Kong Authorized Dealer was cool.... But did not expect the same failure with the replacement hub....
  2. The steel outer ring slips within the hub shell, right? Like with your first one? YES Is the hub shell cracked? NO Who laced the wheel? Reputable Bicycle shop here What was the spoke tension? not sure but I asked the shop to lace the spoke professionally, since the charge is a bit pricey....
  3. absolutely, YES.... first Hope hub lasted about 1 year and 7 months... this second one is about 8 months... Iit is funny because, years ago I was 3kg heavier than this year and nothing much have changed on my riding skills....
  4. This will be my last use of Hope hubs..... not even a year and it almost make me hug the ground.....
  5. just when I thought I could have been face planting..... My Kind of Pick-A-Boooooooo............. 02112024.mp4
  6. yes! I am currently working in Macau and just few hours ago i saw some of these levers in chinese online second-hand market. Just needs to be patient, mostly chinese language (google translate to help), a pair of levers only were less to find. And I saw one, hope it is still available until I got my money... with exactly the same caliper I am using too...
  7. so pretty looking...... i will definitely search for those kind of levers..... Hopefully a price that won't make my wife bench-vise my balls....
  8. I was on shigura setup previously shimano deore m615 then to MT500 those were ok until I have tried that long blade lever classic maggie more leverage really felt good, good bite at lesser finger power. I have small hands being typical small person, I am also looking forward on those classic long lever blades from shimano and still searching....
  9. This is what I currently use. Though due to aging, some parts were already started to show oil leaks. Anyone can suggest, performance wise and some reliability....
  10. I am currently using the classic MT2/MT4 (BAT) levers and it felt so good due to its long lever blade compared to my shigura. Few days ago I started to see some oil leak near the clamp and started to prepare before the worst happens. I was thinking if I go with this MTSix, some parts of my old levers will be compatible (hopefully) or move on to new versions? Cheers!
  11. I am 167cm, with 90mm stem... Still rides totally crap.... thinking about 80mm but can't find good stem yet....
  12. my echo TR's lever started to act wierd, levers returns so slowly despite having new bleed and seals/o-rings. And the HS33 I saw online in my area were like gold. specially those with neon accents or the last HS33. These were the lowest price I have ever seen, that is why I ask if those were much better than echo....
  13. Guys, Just asking if this is worth for use or the new ones performs better. I was just curious of setting my shimano levers aside to try the benefits of longer blades. I have these MT levers for quite sometimes until I found a very cheap repait kit. So far, these holds better than shimano maybe because of longer lever blades and less stress on my fingers. The only thing I wonder is a bit of spongy feelings, unlike the shimano where it is so firm, but the bite is there. Modulation is very noticeable. If ever these levers break, should I get the same (so cheap) or go with the newer models. Any significant performance difference in stopping performance? Cheers!
