just phoned hope to check whats happening regards freehub options

for now the fixie hub will come with a disc mount to be used as a disc mount or fixed cog mount.

and on the drive side a 6 bolt freehub fitting that will accept a 15t 6 bolt cog.

they say the hubs sould be in stock by the end of feb or earliy march.

i have asked if they could find out if the ss/trial freehub would fit the fixiee hub so we can use a 12t shimano style cog for trials.

Really not sure about that as the use of profile hubs / king bmx hubs seems significantly lower than yesteryear! the influx of reasonably reliable FFWs seems to have taken over....

King hubs are over £300 new

Profiles are only available in 36h which is damn hard to find in mod rims now.

Hopes are cheap and strong as f**k

Couldn't agree more- I was a Chris king user for years as well

You guys don't seem to realize how small a sport trials is.

The fact they ever made anything trials-specific is impressive enough - they have every right not to.

They probably sell more 135mm hubs in a day than they would 116mm hubs with a 12 tooth driver in their entire lifespan.

It would not be "a good chunk of business" - it would be about ten hubs a year :P I imagine they consider breaking into the BMX market something of a gamble at any rate, and are likely relying on dirt jumpers etc. to make up the sales, and BMX is enormous compared to trials.

If you really want one, get the 9 tooth model and run a 13 or 14 tooth sprocket on your cranks. (The equivalent to 18:12 is 13.5:9, so you'd have to go one way or the other.)

[Edit: Or the 15t model and a 22t or 23t sprocket.]
If you don't want to risk that, just wait a while. I'm pretty sure I'll end up doing exactly that when they come out so you can use me as a guinea pig ;)
