Jason222 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) I'm thinking of getting one of the adamant (echo) freehubs ( http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=638 ). How does it compare to the Hope Pro II trials hub? It's similarly specced, but I've never used, or even seen either of them. But I hear great things about the Hope hubs, so I'll probably still get one for my street/jumper rig. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've done some research, but not a ton of results...

26inch Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 hope all the way. They work way better and you can easily get hold of all the spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Damon Watson killed his hub in 3 hours.Hope Pro 2 T all the way. I have used an XC, Mono, King and a Pro 2. To be honest theres not much in it between the King and the Pro 2, if you want the pimp factor get a King otherwise pro 2 is fine, running one now. They engage solidly and reliably, they are also relatively cheap.Hope also have a second to none customer service, they will generally repair hubs free of charge or for a small fee depending on the situation.

max-t Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Hi there buddy, i have had both of these hubs reecently, one after the other and to be honest have had soooo much more success with the Hope Pro II.the Deng hubs are not really manufacured as well as the bearings seem to fall out very easy,lockrings seem to come loose all of the time, are not as loud and skip more than a primary school girl to be fair.With the Pro II engagements were very solid and when skipping did happen it was very minor.(skipping ended after the hub bedding in, about a week or so)I was using the hub for a good 6 months without any problems at all, and if any of the parts should decide to break then they can be easily replaced.The deng hub has been on my bike since christmas day and im not at all impressed with it. DAMN THING skips everyday!The pawls are not thick enough either which is probably one of the reasons why it is skipping.British is best mate, deffinately get the Pro II its one of , if not the best trials specific hub out there.Max...

Explain that one for me as I don't understand you. They are not thick enough to do what? Stick up your arse and hold them there with just the pressure of your cheeks?
