Mark W Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hope have updated the Pro 2 T for 2011, creating the Pro 2 Evo Trials hub. Still using the same basic engagement system before, with steel freehub body and beefed up hubshell, but now featuring a needle roller bearing in the freehub body as standard, and with higher quality Hope-branded bearings inside the hub itself. They also come as standard with the stronger, 8mm allen key broached axle bolts that are a load tougher than the older, 6mm versions.

Christophe' Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Does anyone know the Dimensions for this Hub for wheelbuilding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hub Dimensions - Flange Diameters: 56mm - Centre to Flanges: 32mm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Thanks Mark! Just needed some reasurance. Had seen the dimensions on the Tarty website but they didnt seem to tie up with the dimensions on the Hope page. Guessing Hope have been slow ( as usual ) on updating.

Ash-Kennard Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 if i bought a pro 2t earlier this year, and eventually wanted to change the bearings, are the needle bearings the same size as the roller bearings in the older models? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 if i bought a pro 2t earlier this year, and eventually wanted to change the bearings, are the needle bearings the same size as the roller bearings in the older models? Nope, the new freehub body is different to accomodate the new bearings. I asked Hope this question a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecols Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 So, is the ratchet still 2 pairs of claws? And is it possible to rebuild the Hub with the 12mm through-axle kit? Planned to do this a while ago, but really can't convince myself 2 claws are better than 4 at a time.. -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 That hubshell looks dangerously similar to the ProIIt's the one before last that cracked all the time Hope it IS beefier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) If pro2s used different springs and moved some stuff about could another set of 2 pawls be fitted in there to give more engagement? I am always thinking it when i am servicing mine. Has anyone else thought that? Edited April 26, 2011 by Mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 would make an already heavy hub heavier though. I don't really feel a lack of engagements when I am riding either. I would rather see them slim down the hub a bit instead, there is no need to have room for 6spd now the rules for comps have changed, making it a true singlespeed could save a fair lump of steel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Do that then add another 2 pawls. Then it would be 72 ep yeh? same as a king. Surely 2 more pawls wouldn't make it noticably heavier though? Edited April 26, 2011 by Mikee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 That hubshell looks dangerously similar to the ProIIt's the one before last that cracked all the time Hope it IS beefier You mean the ones without the reinforced 'bulge' on the driveside, which these new ones clearly have? Do that then add another 2 pawls. Then it would be 72 ep yeh? same as a king. Surely 2 more pawls wouldn't make it noticably heavier though? Increasing the pawl count is going to increase the resistance to the wheel freewheeling, to coutner that they would have to put softer springs in. I'd rather 4 pawls.

Muel Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Any sign of a TI driveshell for these yet? Just interested, will probably never ride again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 If they made a single speed version of these, (similar to a profile driver setup) They would sell so many. especially to all the dirt jump boys too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 that's what I told them, they thought it was a good idea, weather they do it is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 They so should. If they make a single sprocket, wide flanged version, it'd make the wheel stiffer wouldn't it? Plus they could move the bearings outwards and wouldn't need it to be as beefy, because the break between drive shell and hub shell would be closer to the end? Just my thoughts.

Ali C Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I agree. Dave at Inspired seemed keen as well, hopefully he'll push for it to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 they could also make really sexy sprockets like king ones but hope and made of win... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 would make an already heavy hub heavier though. I agree with what you're saying - but I am shocked that it was you that said it! Always thought you were the "if it's reliable and strong, I don't care if it adds some weight" type. I also see that there's no need for it to be needlessly heavy and it'll only improve the product as a whole - but yeah... You surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 haha, I am a weight weenie, but a sensible one. Hopes are pretty much the most reliable hub available, so it would be nice to save a little weight without sacrificing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 could they not make an option to have a disc too? seems a lot of use lot use maggies, there for they could make the flanges wider, makeing a stronger wheel?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 nahh cause they sell the trials hub as a single speed hub to mtb'ers and the jump bike scene, they love their disk brakes so they'd be loosing out massively (at a guess?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McMillan Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Great hub! I have been using this hub but in a straight pull version for the last year now and all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
