roby James124 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi I have tried searching and nothing came up so hopefully i'm sorted. Any way getting to the point i want i new front disc wheel and i have decided on a mavic 721 rim because i have got a mavic 521 on my bike now and never had any problems. But i cant decide on the hub because i went out riding this evening set on buying a hope pro2 hub but my mate now says buy an hope xc because they are cheaper and lighter so i was just wanting some more opinions. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 can't go wrong with an xc on the front really, not really worth getting the pro 2 unless you have a pro 2 on the back and want something to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipsy Jock Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Nothing wrong with the xc hub, if theres a noticeable price difference i'd go for the xc, if not go for the pro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roby James124 Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Nothing wrong with the xc hub, if theres a noticeable price difference i'd go for the xc, if not go for the pro 2 Theres a tenner in price difference thats why i am having the problem because i thought the pro 2 hubs were made for trials.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt rushton Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Go for the pro 2 as u may (or may not) know on one side of the xc the spokes have to be shorter and longer on the other side for the disc. Well on the pro2 both sides can be the same. hopes this helps in your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robpro 2 is lighter and gets my vote Ow right my mate said that the xc was i dont know. RobI wouldn't pick a hub based purely on spoke lengths No neither would i.RobI think i am going to stay with the hope pro 2 cause it just come out and it meant for trials and ali c says it lighter so thanks for all the replys Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbjosh Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 yes id go for the pro 2, i have the same set up on the front with all black everything - 721 spokes nipples and the hub, it looks pimp daddy and its really light, although i could of gone for the lighter option of a mavvic 717 but i didnt for a bit more strength into the equation. Everybody has XC's even bmxers. spend that extra and get something that not as many people have. you also have the bolt through option with it, not that ud want that on a trials bike anyway. but ye pro2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
