N.Wood Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Get a King ISO hub. Classics have no way to attach a disk, so they're out.Universals have a spline to put a disk adaptor on, but you need to buy the adaptor then buy a special rotor, and its not worth it.ISO is the way.

Muel Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just get pro 2s instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yeah, ckris king front hubs are the biggest waist of money ever. if anything hopes bearings last longer and the hubs are probably stronger, never heard of anyone killing a front hope. So just get a hope proII and then you've got the money for a disc even sooner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials_pimp Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 It makes no difference what front hub you use with HS33s.Whoever told you a Chris king isnt compatable with them is a toolLike others have said, why spend that much on a CK front hub when Hope is perfectly good enough.Front hubs dont take much of a beating, you could ride on any disc hub you wanted, as long as its got a 6 bolt IS mount you can fit 90% of disc brakes.

Skoze Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I use i front ISO, its fit as and it was birthday present ages ago (i really wouldn't spend that much of my own money on a front hub) If you do want to spend the cash, don't listen to everyone else, just do it!It's your bike and only you decide what happens to it.

Vee Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 just get a hope mono front, light as and strong as! trust me im a fairly heavy rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 My Hope XC has been perfect since I got it. Just fit and forget kinda thing.If you don't want disc at all, then get an Onza T-Master hub, exactly the same as the Hopes, but with Onza on them...pretty much.If you ever want to run a disc, then just get an XC.
