Has it happened again.

absolutely, YES....

first Hope hub lasted about 1 year and 7 months...
this second one is about 8 months...
Iit is funny because, years ago I was 3kg heavier than this year and nothing much have changed on my riding skills....

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?

Who laced the wheel? 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....

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.

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....

Finger crossed.

 

Here in Europe, the start of the legal warranty is and stay the date of acquisition.

It means, if the first hub was replaced one day before the end of the warranty, the warranty covers the new hub only for one day 🫤
