SamKidney Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 That's only because you weren't used to it though.. 48 is plenty.. Exactly... Ive never ridden with less than 60ep, and even that feels odd now. Might be okay for you, but for me 48 isn't plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you rode with one for a while you would get used to it and realise that it doesn't affect your riding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shercofray Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Why settle for 'fine'? I think people don't really 'settle' for the low ep's, the reason people run hopes with 48 is due to many contributing factors. If there was a hope hub or a ffw with higher ep's and had the same qualities of hope's hubs I'm people would run them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Why settle for 'fine'? Don't use a bmx hub then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 As said before 18-12 on 48ep would feel like72. I rode with an eno this weekend. And after a short period of riding couldn't really truthfully admit to it being any different to a 108... and if the hope is solid who f**king cares? I saw two echo 108s die on the same damn ride yesterday. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) ^ SL's are not living up to the hype they once rightly deserved. as for hope making a proto. Halla-f666ing-luya. But I personally wouldn't bet on it being a hit in the bmx (park) world though, From my experience this lot are stuck in their ways, completely closed minded, so would be highly sceptical about a non-BMX brand and those with money would go with Gsport or profile because of this. The people who have had experience in mountain bikes may be interested in this hub but I don't think would invest. IMO, aiming at the bmx racer like king do may be the target audience hope would be after. Trials riders would obviously buy in too. But what do I know, ey? EDIT: I am not trying to make this out as a pointless product BTW. Just that I don't think the market is right.
