Blake Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Right, I know it's possible and I really want to get one done. I was going to ask euan beaden to do one for me me, however I don't really trust him to do it completely right if i'm honest. Kennard said there's someone on here who could do it, or maybe that tarty could? Would tarty do it (I hope adam will read this thread), if not who will? I am willing to pay. Thanks, George. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I am also interested in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 You will need a standard pro2 shell with a pro 2t cassette. You will also need to modify the axles and machine the cassete bet abit shorter and relocate the bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Or driver from a profile mini cassette hub, but you will still need to machine the hope axle and modify some spacers to suit. The driver bearings in a profile are the same as in a pro2 driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Danny Swindlehurst done it a while back. Not sure how though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Me and a friend managed to do it with a pro 2 evo, however.. this post is completely irrelevant as we only got it down to around 125mm and prised the frame open. Probably should have done it in the workshop rather than in a car park one night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read somewhere that the pawls would move about causing some pretty bad skips ect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I would rather machine down the hope pro 2 evo trials hub so that it will fit as apposed to make a hybrid hub. Is it possible tartybikes will do it for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think one of the big things is rethreading the driveshell when you machine it down. You need to find that tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Or use the feed screw on a lathe, which is much easier We could do it but I don't really have the time and you'd need to give me too much money to provide the inclination Maybe give Josh at JAF Bikes a shout?

bike_dummie Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 You need the shorter standard pro 2 shell and a pro 2 trials cassete as again it is shorter. There is no way you can make it out of one hub as there isn't enough material to remove. I would also avoid the profile idea aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ah f**k, I understand now. You sure there isn't 19mm worth of shell to remove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I gave up due to I realised how many echo sl's I could buy with the money of a hope hub not to mention how much weight i saved! The guy had also seen the other hub and said they had to relocate the bearing ect aswell. Edited December 27, 2012 by bike_dummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
