Gotta' love Hope.

Today I was pedalling up towards a speed bump, to hop over it (intense) and my wheel went all wobbly and I noticed that my freehub had seperated from my Hope Pro II hub body. After about 15 mins of trying to put the freehub back on, I sort of got it back on and scootered back to where I was riding. After stealing bikes off people for the rest of the day, I walked my bike home. When I got home, I pulled my freehub body off and woohoo, half of the axle came off with it.

Anyway, less talk more pics:




Hooray. Good thing new axles are only $22 on CRC, haha.

Yer thats pretty rare for a hope hub, those things are usually really good solid hubs. Unlucky I guess. Good to see you didnt try to ride it home:p

Moral of the story Jamoz? Don't ride over speed humps or...?

I had a pair of those hubs, they did me well, never seemed to have any issues; maybe you just happend to be the unlucky one eh! To snap the axel like that, didn't think that was possible.

Your user title's ringing true again.

Hopes are good hubs, but they're not known for their strength or durability.

It should be noted that the speed bump incident would have just been the final straw. The majority of the damage would have occurred prior to that.

It's farking tempting me. When my axle's fixed I might give it a go.

Yeah, what Tu Plang said.

This is my chance to make the thing quieter anyway, it's been getting on my nerves for a while now, haha.

or... this could be your chance to get an NS rotary rear and be done with it. After having issues with my pro2 i upgraded and haven't looked back!

Good luck with it.
