AdamR28 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hmm. Tartybikes' site shows the standard 10mm bolt in axle as part HUB236 which they state as being incompatible with the EVO hubs... IRconfused. There's a different sizing under the freehub body for the two different bearing types ('standard' ball race and needle bearing), which is where the difference lies. And the end caps are different too as there's a circlip inside the freehub on the needle bearing version (EVO) which prevents 'standard' end caps from fitting. They may even be a different bore too. As Matt says, Hope haven't got a f**king clue with stuff like this. You really struggle to find anyone on the phone who can help with anything mildly technical any more, it's really frustrating. The amount of times we've done exactly as Hope suggested to Dave and we've got stuff sent incorrectly is baffling... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 So, in your professional opinion, Ads, what the hell do we actually need?! Is the Hope site wrong then- the HUB236 kit is definitely not what we'd need? Think I'll just stick with my tube bodge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwannaleeson! Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Dave, looks awesome mate. Pleased to see your getting back into it! Despite a wedding coming up I've treated myself to an Element 26" frame so will see what happens with that! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a bump, but, after some detective work this is what I've been able to come up with... http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/hub_spares/hope_pro_2_trials_axle/c22p10778.html Only time will tell if it's right. We'll probably get what we think is HUB236 in a packed labelled HUB218 next time we order from Hope, to screw stuff up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be in need of one of those later in the year. I take it until this point no one with an Evo hub has had any issues and needed a new axle...pretty good going if so.
