Gavin Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 if its for a stock bike, and your willing to spend a reasonable amount of money i suggest you use a hope mono hub. when i started to ride i used loads of hubs and broke them all (mainly cheap shimano ones). hope are really reliable hubs, they are sealed aswell so you dont have to worry about your cones constantly comming loose! engagement is pretty good too! Rim wise i think mavic d521's are brilliant, lightweight, strong, double walled and hold a grind really well. but they are quite narrow as rims go now. i'm using a onza ronnie rim currently and have been for about 2months and i cant fault it. hope that helps matey (no pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_g Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 thanx mate, i have a hope now( not sure which one though) in out the game long time, i ride a zero, i have a 521 now, but as i need a new hub mite as well do the hole thing.

petit_pablo Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Dude go for the onza hog rim with a hope hub. I want a hog rim so will cry if you get it 1st!!! Failing that the 521 has stayed strong for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 i would say hope mono on a echo rim.. cant get alot better than that... :D (apart from a king) Yeah I have had two hopes both of which had to be repaired about five times each! I really have gone off hopes, they didnt impress me much at all. I now run a king anyway and its amazing, got it cheap off ebay and its worth every penny. (N) Amazing engagement, lightweight, strong and looks good all at the same time. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERDAN Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yeh, does all depend on how much you want to spend, and what sort of style you ride i guess. Profile have some nice hubs, which are mid range in price. Other than tht, king all the way just cost alot (N) Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) i agree hopes arnt as good as what people say they are but then again they are one of the best for trials, and you have gone through two hopes beacuse you have been riding quite a while.. and your now too good for a hope :D :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Think your hope hub was the hope xc If your worryed about the hub or money, hope are the absolute best for customer care, (-specilised) and if you contact them via e-mail or phone send of hub or complete wheel and bang then they will replace the internals and fix it next to as good as new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
