Andrex Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 If you referring to the old pro2 as the 06 one, those ones have weak hub shells as most of them broke, but if its the 07, then they are much tougher but they still have minor problems, but you can normally sent it to hope for repairs. I would recommend getting one though, its worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 They use M10 bolts the bolt straight into the axle, and they don't tend to develop skipping as far as I know, they tend to strip the thread that the rachet ring thingy screws into first. This doesn't happen that often though, just depends how much of a basher you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 as said above, i am now on my third pro II but still love it.first one was an 06 and like many others cracked its shell - despite it being second hand hope replaced it with a brand new one straight awayafter 4 months of riding the second one i stripped the threads on the drive ring, again sent it back and in no time had a replacement.a friend of mine ben moore has been running his 06 for over 2years now and its never missed a beat.the cool thing to know is that even if you get it and within a week you crack it hope will replace it no problems.as for skipping i have never expierienced a hub skip with any of my pro 2's. if it does ever skip, all internals are available separatly and they are silly easy to servive!my advice, buy it!hope this helpsjosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 cant go wrong with any hope hub there warranties are second to noneYeah but if he can get an 07 one for the same price then buying the 06 and sending it off for repair isn't worth the hassle!
