Iit is funny because, years ago I was 3kg heavier than this year and nothing much have changed on my riding skills.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago That sounds quite bad. I never encountered an issue with the 3 Hope pro IV ss/trials I owned. Neither on the classic one on my wheels for enduro/DH. The steel outer ring slips within the hub shell, right? Like with your first one? Is the hub shell cracked? Who laced the wheel? What was the spoke tension? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Bicycle shop here What was the spoke tension? not sure but I asked the shop to lace the spoke professionally, since the charge is a bit pricey....

La Bourde Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Maybe Hope had a bad batch and this hub landed on the grey market. Today I saw a video about Hope counterfeit cranks (in French else I would have share). Difficult to tell the difference until they crack. He notable differences were: - one part was not anodised but is anodised one the genuine ones - the label of the crank length is lasered instead of CNC'd - the axle machined in a slightly different way.

MaderaMark Posted 7 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) I am not sure if Hope will STILL cover this for warranty. I did claimed for the first time, Hong Kong Authorized Dealer was cool.... But did not expect the same failure with the replacement hub....
