Guest Trials Punk Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hope big un - sme as the bulb but with wider flanges (is that what you call them?) resulting in a better wheel build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thetart20 Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hope big un - sme as the bulb but with wider flanges (is that what you call them?) resulting in a better wheel build. Big Un - Totally gay, overly heavy. Its just a BULB internally. Doesnt build a better wheel. Waste of space :- Front hub shells make nice pen holders though... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 mate, ur new, so i spose we will let u off, sooner or later u will learn that there are some people that u just dont dispute on certain subjects, like argueing with thewheeldoctor™ about wheels oh well u will soon learn hope hubs, half the price of chris king, half as good, simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 the big'un does build into a stronger wheel becasue the length of spokes is shorter because of the larger diameter of the hub flange therefore =strong wheel build Not true. The difference in spoke length is sod all anwyay - unless you lace 2X, 1X or radial... which you really dont wanna do on a Big 'Un. And if it WAS true, it gives another case for BMFs and the like building into weaker wheels... they use spokes about 5-6mm longer than 521s... ah well.

quick_spider Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 helps what? You to wear out the internals? XC lube is very thin and will be gone in no time from the surfaces in your hub. Just use lithium grease. XC lube is best used on the chain, or in a King hub. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kells Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 (edited) Would somebody put the warranties of the hubs in here please. Edited September 25, 2004 by ultimatetrialer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Pretty sure they have a 1 year warranty, but they'll help you out no matter how old the hub is. Generally you just send the wheel off to them and they fix it and send it back. It's worth phoning/emailing them first though. I just sent off a 2 year old Hope XC and got charged £20 for them to fit new axle, pawls and bearings. Considering they're sending it by a courier back to me (£10ish worth) it's a pretty good deal. I suspect if the hub had been in better condition they wouldn't have charged me. I've certainly had disc brakes serviced/new parts fitted for free.
