basher Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 There road hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 ther not 'road hubs' there all roudn hubs like the mono series were, i.e. suitable for road and xc use, i would stick to a pro 2 rear, the pro 3 rear isnt a trial hub, merely a mountainbike/road/cyclocross hub which only has 24 eps, the fronts would certainly be up for the job thoughhope now alos do pro 3 straight pull hubs which are completely different to the hubs linked above aswell as the others.more info at www.hopetech.comash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 so when i was talking to guys from hope at the show last month and asked whether they were going to be offering the same sort of warrenties on pro3's for trials riders as for the pro2's (thats my special way of asking whether they designed it for trials as well) and they said that they would.... they were actually just looking to replace loads of hubs all the time?!they are NOT road hubs and they WILL be fine J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boon racoon Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 get some facts here...------------------------Hope Pro 3 FrontThe new Pro3 hub replaces the Mono hubs. With the proven range of Pro2s having gone from strength to strength since they were launched, the Pro3 is the development of that hub, and is specifically aimed at road and non disc users.The hub uses custom stainless cartridge bearings. these have been designed and produced by INA and are super smooth running – ideal for fast road wheels.The hub shell is machined from a solid billet of 2014 T6 aluminium.The Pro3 utilises all the features and benefits of the Pro2, but offers a light weight, well sealed extremely smooth and free running system – that suits road applications in the UK perfectly.• Weight: 110ghttp://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17383------------------------Hope Pro 3 Rear 135mmThe new Pro3 hub replaces the Mono hubs.

JohnyMilton Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 O im maybe thinking of the newer ones ? Dirt jump free ride hubs ? One min ill link you that aint a roadie hub ? Click on more pics for the rear !Its a X-country hub, or an all mountain hub, it would not last very long as a DJ or Trials hub, plus that link is for the 06, the 07 has a differnet type of flange, where you screw the spokes in.I guess the front one you can use for trials, theres no chance the rear pro 3 wil handle trials.

JD™ Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Again I say, I reckon _HOPE_ are the ones who know about this subject matter. As said above, you have old information on these hubs and should you feel that you still must be right then feel free to give them a call. Just dont ask whether they were made for trials, they will obviously say no, ask whether they will offer you the normal warranty even if you admit it was used for trials.

The Duck Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Don't get a rear one, Pro IIs are fine. Front ones are replacements for monolites, same weight etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafu26 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) i'm pretty sure you can only buy them as 'hope hoops' which come on a 26" dt swiss xc rim. so me think they're for xc use. they look beefy enough and you can hear the freehub from a mile off. we had some floating round work a while back. they come with disc mounts too which supports the for xc/not for road theory!basically a guy at work (bike shop) is running a hope pro3 wheelset on dt swiss rims on his xc bike. they're straight pull spokes and have got disc mounts. you can only buy them as the wheelset and not individual hubs.
