  1. 1. Do you fellow trials riders think this well be a good idea?

yes, there is a straight pull option shell on the hope parts list.

This is because the trials version is denominated SS/T as in single speed/trials and thus not specifically for us people.

I believe the straight pull Pro2/3 is more aimed at people like SS MTB nutters and hardcore/rich commuters who want a hub that can take repeated gate starts at traffic lights in high gears.

It still doesn't make sense. The Pro2 straight pull isn't aimed at SS commuters and MTB users. The only way you can buy a Hope straight pull is to buy a complete factory wheel...look at the rims they're specced with, they're just intended for normal MTB's and to users who wants normal, tubeless MTB rims on a straight pull hub. Why on earth would Hope make a hub for a fixie, hipster market? However ironically the only way I've killed a Pro 2 was not through years of trials use but by cranking off the lights like an arse on my commuter and ripping the ratchet apart...again not sure how straight pull would help this?

Matt, it's okay to say you like wearing leggings around town.

But yeah, straight pull hubs are probably not a great idea for trials.

I am renowned for my love of compression clothing..... I don't think I could actually have a conversation or be next to a rider who was bouncing about in leg gins next to me.

I have always assumed, correct or not, that because few or no one trials riding would specifically spec a straight pull one, that it is for a market other than ourselves.

Eg. http://www.lfgss.com/

and the straight pull shell can be bought outside of a hopehoop. there's a part no and everything. I know because the exploded diagram is blu-tacked to my bedroom wall next to 2 pro2 pen holders/small parts bins. I walk past it every morning.

gimme a minute.

BIG EDIT:

Forum crashed for a minute then, lost my train of thought

PROIIEvoSS-Trialexploded

With that part no I could walk into my LBS/hope dealer, slap £70 on' table and order me self one of them shells.

BUT this is all besides the point.

Mini pro2 please hope. ASAP.
