lahaine Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hope XC or others? Maybe some street/dirt/DH hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old boy chez Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have hope xc hubs on my zebdi had it for 8 years never skipped once. If you can go for pro2's it would be better in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I used to think my Hope XC was fine, I'd had it 10 years and it had never skipped. I figured that I wasn't good enough to bother upgrading. Then I got a Pro 2, and realised what I'd been missing. Doesn't make you a better rider, but having something for purpose makes a big difference for confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've had my king hub for about 2 years and it hasn't skipped once, as far as I know it's 6-7years old and the only replacements I've had for it was a drive side bearing (lbs destroyed it because their "Chris king hub tool" consisted of a punch and hammer, I'd tried this method and the bearing was stuck so I would've damaged it and not got a free replacement the other part was a fun bolt but that was from torquing the f**k out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've had my king hub for about 2 years and it hasn't skipped once I'm not a CK pro or anything, but I swear that when I had a go on your bike in January the hub skipped when I was just doing some small pedal kicks..? Am I fat or something? Worth to mention though is that it pretty much wasn't any 'power on the hub' when it skipped. Either way, I love chris king hubs, my riding friend has had his for 10 years of trials abuse, and he bought it second hand so it's even older than that. He hasn't changed anything, just serviced it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 My chain line was slightly out so you get a little clonk but no hub movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
