Cold spray works wonders when working with bearings. I will ignore everything regarding grease and forget about the big green seal - and the one trick pony seal tool. I got insane clicking and free spinning with just a dab of motor oil. It will survive about 5 minutes in Norway, but I like that people here when I am coming. Enjoy trying to fit the freehub without loosing the pawls three times.
Its good not just that hope make parts but also come and provide rewards at the pmba enduro races, I have full hope components on my full suspension and my sister has an academy hardtail thanks a lot to the academy and hope❤❤❤
This is the fastest thing i've ever ridden... It's so fast that I have to get used to having a faster bike... I want. To take my wheels to bed with me..... I love my Hope 5 Hubs!
Anyone had the circlip holding the pawls in come off?. After a month my wheel wouldn't freewheel, took off freehub to find the circlip had come off and rounded off the lip where it sits, hope sent out new freehub body, its now happened again on the new one
Still rocking my 2008-2010 ish M4 Union Jack edition brakes in raw aluminium. Sexy as hell, incredibly sturdy and so nicely adjustable. Those things are still top of the line brakes almost 15 years later. Bought them used around 2016 for 180 Euros which was the top end of my budget for a pair of brakes and one hell of a deal. The only real upgrade I did was switching to steel hoses and the occasional disc replacement. Have thought about maybe upgrading to a tech 3 lever in the future, but this would only be for the looks. Also: I think I may have been lucky with mine but I have not needed to bleed them in the past 4 years.
Worked lile a charm and i never did bleeding on any break before. Im just kind of stucked with rear brake where i had to take the hose out as i had to rpute it through the frame, small portion of bubbles still come out. The break itself isnt spongy so I guess i just ride it a bit and then rebleed.
So how many NM should you tighten the bleed cap? And question to any owners of theses breaks my breaks have been bleed 4 times by a bike shop they called hope and hope told them to swap out the cable so they did well still having the same problem so when I flip the bike upside down the break losses pressure the the front break doesn't do this at all and when I first bought this set neither was the rear I ride a lot so sometimes I have to flip my bike upside down to work on it.. does anyone know what it could be?
Looks like and Advertisement for SRAM and Shimano breaks! what a shitty method this was to bleed Hope brakes. Hope is a great company and makes great products, but they really need to get it together with their tutorials. This is embarrassing and makes their brakes seem waaaaay more complicated than they actually are to bleed.
In 2019 I was fortunate enough to have a new XC bike built and fitted with a X2 Uno brake system. Without Hope, my bike wouldn’t exist, wouldn’t be as safe. I would (and have) bet my life Hope quality and support.
Ive still got a Hope Titanium rear hub on my old ( have actually replaced the bike after 18 yrs. ) Dr Jekyll Dirt Jump bike. Hammered the crap out of it and if i still, on occasions pull the old thing out of the garage, it runs as smooth as anything wlse out there and its hardly been serviced over the years
I love you guys...Anodised black caliper, and gold cylinder bore caps, mono minis are the most beautiful brakes in the world. ❤ (running an old retro pair.......still fine)
If it wasn’t for Chris King I would probably buy a lot more Hope products but lifetime bearing warranty vs 1 year is a no brainier. The bearings on my CK bb are original and have been on every mtb for the past 13-14 years.
Love Hope, I've been using their stuff since the 90s. Although, in the early days, my front disc did warp when I heaved on the front brake, locking up the front wheel on my Orange P7 Pro SE. Unbolted the rotor and rode home. Great to see them getting bigger and stronger.
Love what you do, I used to teach people to build fast jets, the attention to detail, the quality coupled with great looks and performance mean I will always be a fan.
I run your hubs, brakes, headsets etc you name it, none of which has ever broke on me. It's still mindblowing how you can make such a precision products at reasonable cost in the UK.
As a toolmaker myself and a MTB lover working here would be my absolute dream sadly it's a commute from South Wales. Although one day I'd love to see the factory
