Ben Geary Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I can't stand Hope xc's .... the enagagement is horrible, just feels like there is nothing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 It's not like Hope XCs don't break though, is it? Mat's cracked by one of the pawl housings, and skipped on it's own anyway. Same with Luke's now (the skipping like a girl, that is)... to be fair, i did put hench different springs in it, and it was like 4 years old. lukes never propperley skips, just clicks, you'd know if it skipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 yep thought it smelled of summit, as every one will recall i was doing gap and riding as normal, hub wasn't engauging properly cus it was in need of a service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 new front hub came finally after 2 1/2 months, now running red king classics front and rear no probs at all with skipping as i service the rear hub quite regularly with the proper king ringdrive lube and give it a right good clean out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
