Feelin' a bit rrranty
I think @Oddjob’s point about BBs was that the Aeffect also uses a 24mm spindle which means you can use a Shimano BB.

Oh yeah! A mate and I were pretty pissed off last year, when we were building up his Patrol, that there is ANOTHER stupid BB tool required for RF BBs. Not the Shimano one we've been using for the last ten years. Fcuk Rotor, RF and all the others who thought it was a good idea to put a different number of splines on their BB shells
I can attest to getting about six, hassle-free, years out of a BB51

Have you not yet realised that this forum is full of Hope fanboy groupies?

Good combo. But even the plain jane Shimano bb52 is excellent. I've had a Shimano bbr 600 (road version of the mt800) last on the road bike for going on 8 years and god knows how many kms.
Hope bbs are shit. The bearings are terrible and really hard to replace. If you need a bsa30 bb get a Rotor.
If you must have a colourful bb any of the Taiwanese ones from Cyclingdeal are pretty good. Not Shimano good but superior to anything from Sram, Fsa, RF etc.

Eats cheese. Sells crack.
I’m with you oddjob. My hope bb hasn’t lasted any longer than any of the shimano units I’ve used.

I'm surprised it's lasted anywhere near as long.

Aeffect R seems like a smart choice:

NSMB.com - Race Face Aeffect R Cinch Cranks & 170mm Dropper Post
You can buy WAY fancier sh*t, but the Race Face Aeffect R 7050 aluminum crankset and 170mm dropper post - combined with a great remote - are really all anyone needs...

Vote 1 for the Turbine cranks / bb too. Never had an issue with either the PF92 or proper bbs.Aeffect R seems like a smart choice:

Skip past the suspension stem, the semi integrated dropper is neat. Uses a lever to set saddle height, doesn't need to be built in or cut like the Eight Pins design.

Another reinvention of the spoke for the weight savers.
Berd Spoke Technology
Berd spokes are made from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). UHMWPE has 12 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel and floats on water. The key aspect of our technology is the connection between the polymer and the steel threads, which relies on the "Chinese Finger Trap" effect to create an 'unbreakable' bond. This technology was developed in partnership with the National Science Foundation through a Small Business Innovation Research Grant and is protected by US Patents 10,150,332 B2 and 10,661,598 B2."

Great technique for hauling cables through pits / pipe and conduits. No shoulders to get caught anywhere along the way.

I had a pair of Xyclones back in the day. Super fast, but felt a bit spongy, and I split the rear rim along the spoke bed
Hope e-bike parts but interesting to see thicker rotors, @beeb shoulda waited and got them! 
Also mounts for your Bosch e computer, would like to see them do a Garmin/Wahoo mount...oh well.

Same factory. Will be a Topaz but with a floating piston rather than a bladder.
