No way! wannabe Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Help please.Im just getting into trials & im really enjoying it. My bike is an Echo & Im happy with most of the kit on it but Im having trouble with the pick-up from my hub. My hub is a 08 Hope Pro 11 (the non trials 1) & Id like faster engagement. Can anyone advise me on a hub too buy for around £100-150, that's got instant or almost instant pick-up? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 A hope Pro2 Trials is exactly what you're looking for, great engagement, strong, relatively cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Or a second hand King (if it's a 'good' one)My iso was 70 pounds! Edited January 26, 2009 by Marvin the Martian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-vee Rider Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Many 26" riders which I ride with use a pro 2, they are really good for the money and if you buy second hand it's even better 48 engagements so it engages pretty quick.They has been a couple of problems lately with some breaking but you get a warrenty so it's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza-ian Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I don't use a freehub, but judging by some of the remarks i've heard about the new viz extreme freehub it could be worth a look. Quality might not be as good as the hope pro II but the 120 engagement points might grab your attention!have a look ...on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Chinnery Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Like B-J-H said get the pro 2 trials. Its prone to be awsome for trials. Hence the Trials part of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Or a second hand King (if it's a 'good' one)My iso was 70 pounds!Ignore him get a profile may skip at first but give it time and it'll bed in.Why would a profile need to bed in? The pawls and ratchet on a profile are very deep, its is lubricated very lightly when you buy it new and the springs are very strong. I've owned several profile hubs over the years and none of them haveever showed any signs of skipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 A hope Pro2 Trials is exactly what you're looking for, great engagement, strong, relatively cheap! +1 unless you can get a second hand king.You could always concider FFW.
