Herbertlemon102 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Does your current setup work not work? Far too much time/effort/money wasted on something that you don't really need. 8 owners old echo sl haha,not ideal. Likes to skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 110mm would be possible if you ditched the disc mount , if not you'd probably have to part the hub shell in half and rebond it with some carbon tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 8 owners old echo sl haha,not ideal. Likes to skip Then surely it's a cheaper and quicker option to just buy a new freewheel? Unless you're calculating that the hope hub will out last it's values worth in freewheels, which makes more sense to do. To be honest if you get a new hope hub then mill it you'll loose you're warranty, unless you already have a second hand one (or third/fourth/fifth so in), then you have to give it to someone who might not do a proper job and takes forever. Potential f**k up plus time waiting for it, I'd just get a new freewheel lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 If you wasn't bothered about a disc or the 80ep then just get a Profile hub? i was looking into that a few months ago and the results were not encouraging. it's impossible (or close to) find a bmx hub with 32 holes or a trials rim with 36 holes. the only thing i could find was the hope bmx with 32 holes.

Technically you are right but I can see why someone might want to do the Hope mod. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
