ogre Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) If hope made rear hubs for mods (same price and quality etc) so they were smaller but only had the fitting for a singlespeed frewheel/fixed would you want one? (don't nitpick about wt it wud do/have etc) but would you?*please don't keep saying "oh they won't do it, therre's not enough interest" Well why do you think i'm doing this* I'm realy bad with computers would anyone do a survey thing for me *flutters eyes* Edited February 3, 2006 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urpedigreechumdog Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I don't ride mod, but if i did, then i'd want a hope. Could be a big thing for bmx too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hope won't make a mod hub, there is not enough call for them.......... although they would be pretty sweetash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thats why i'm doing this thread, to see what interest there is in them, because all the mod riders can get them and there like so good for being serviced! etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTTY___ Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 so what your going to make a petition and take it to hope so they make mod versions of there hubs?i can't see hope doing that no matter how good it soundsashI agree but imagine how amazing it would be if they did!! Hope Pro Trials hub II for a mod... Yummy!!Ide deffonatly get one Yeh it would be a massive impact on the Mod world and also i think alot of BMX'ers would seriously be interested in it aswell....I wish it would come about Craig!!

Mark W Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Why would BMXers be interested when strong, durable BMX cassette hubs retail at a fair bit under £100 already, with great warranties and easy servicing? It'd only appeal to mod riders, and only a few mod riders at that really."IMO" 'n' all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 marks totally right, there really isnt room in the market for them now, maybe if they had made one earlier, then they would of been a market leader in mtb and bmx hubsin terms of bmx, it would be too much cost and hassle for hope to produce a 14mm axle verison, look how much time they have spent on the pro2...however if you insisted on wanting a hope hub on you mod, surely its possible to machine off some material on the end caps, thus reducing its overall width? too much time and effort when you can get an eno/profile really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilly Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I would probably be interested in one, though i would prefer them to make a non-fixed mod hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 im suuuure edd potts modified one to fit? And there was a picture on here of it? Was a red mono...Ill search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Stretch the rear end of the frame out a bit hahahahahaha. thats an easy solution to get one in. altho there is a good 25mm difference from a mod rear hub and a stock rear hub.i was thinking about this a number of years ago, now they are sort of dialling the trials market, they may have looked into it, but with profile being quite "in" with their BMX hubs and hope being re-known for a MTB hub brand they would probably leave the mod market alone a bit like Ash "Trial Noir" was saying.Waynio...........................
