carboy280 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Has anyone got any idea what the difference is between the Hope Pro 2 Trials and the standard Hope Pro 2, I know the Trials one comes with a single speed kit and on CRC says the Pro 2 only has 3 pawls whereas the Pro 2 Trials Has 4 are they the only 2 differences...... also what about using one for trials, the Pro 2 that is not the Pro 2 Trials (might be able to get one cheap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The Trials one will have more engagements, meaning if it does skip, it wont be as bad, as the next engagement will be closer than on the 'normal' one.I'm pretty sure the hub body's are beefed up more too, if you're getting a brand new one, then the hub body will be stronger than the old ones. - A few people ripped their hubs apart because of the weak body's.

spode@thinkbikes Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) The standard Pro 2 doesn't have a warranty for Trials either (they can tell...).I think it's only 24 engagements instead of the 48. It's basically a slightly newer version of the Hope XC.A few people ripped their hubs apart because of the weak body's.Apparantly this was a dodgy batch of hubs. Something to do with grain in the aluminium IIRC. According to Hope, 3% of the Pro II's were warrantied. I don't know if that stat includes the non-trials hubs mind you. I'd sooner hear an actual number Edited March 15, 2007 by Spode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghetto Rider Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 In lamen's terms - Pro2 Trials are better for Trials! In my opinion, Pro 2's are better than Chris Kings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The Pro II trials have a smaller free hub, meaning you can run only 6 speed. Or single speed. Normal Pro II has a Normal free hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 also, standard proII is lighter than the proII trials, its less heavy duty and uses quick release, whereas the proII trials uses M10? massive heavy duty bolts.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
