Muel Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Definately a Pro2, I've known a couple of people with profiles and they've had loads of trouble with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxlube Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) i was going to covert a hope for my 20" i was going to grind off 5mm each side of the axle on the hub then you would only have to pull the frame out 5mm each side to fit it in Edited May 27, 2009 by bmxlube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why not take 10mm off each side of the axle then you wouldn't even have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 That won't work, if you took material off the spacer on the drive side the lockring would foul the frame, and if you took it off the disc side the disc mount would be very close to the frame, especially when you're talking about taking 10mm off!The way hope do it I think is they made a much smaller drive shell with only just enough space for one sprocket, and then just put two bearings in it instead of three. (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Do you think they will ever be selling these hubs anywhere?There was talk a while ago of hope releasing 116mm freehubs but nothing came of it. I think tarty was given one to test with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 They made a few prototypes and they're being tested last I heard.I think someone mentioned to me that hope will sell you one if you phone them up but I think that was just a rumor. I've no idea how Danny Swindlehurst got his but I think he bought it from someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
