24martin Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 on a serious note, the wheel bearings in my new hope hub only took 3 or 4 months before they started getting really rough and notchy (this was on an inspired i built a couple of years ago)... but i think i eventually came to the conclusion that it was mostly my fault for putting wayyyyyy too much torque on the the hub bolts! i replaced the bearings myself, figured out a reasonable torque setting for the hub bolts and they were absolutely fine after that! i hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clerictgm mk2 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just to clarify you cant class your right hand as a wife and kleenex as kids. Why you bother coming on this forum being a bell end is beyond me. Id personally pay Bing to fly where you are and punch you in the face but since you all f**ked up the airspace above your heads it isn't possible. Bell end! Loled, I really want to see at angry british teen IRL, so come on. Come here too! I like you, you are funny. Little angry internet kid. I am not even going to read half of this thread because you all jump on the bandwagon and post absolute shite! This happened to myself and after talking to other riders with the same hubs this weekend it's happened to a few other people. I went into hope as the factory is very close to where I live and they swapped them over straight away and gave me spares if it did ever happen again. The people I spoke to this weekend included Mick Carthy (Jacks dad/bike mechanic haha) and after having the same problem hope sent them over some spares. My advice would be to email Hope, explain your problem (I would advise you worded it far better than this thread) that you are from a different country and sending your hub in would cost too much and take too long. They should send you over some spare's to replace them with and you can just swap them as they are pretty easy to do. If you are incapable though contact the shop you bought them from and get them to do it for you. It is a issue that they are aware of and have probably already sorted it out though. If it's truth it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm pretty sure if he sent it back to Hope they'd replace them for free without question but I doubt it'd be worth the expense, even with the best companies in the world something will slip through the net. I got some new ones for free. They use INA bearings but I already got SKF ones. Job done in 10 minutes or less, if you have the right tools.

You are the kind of person that's not too smart. My friend has to do replacement. Mine are still rideable. And I didn't know that Hope cares about riders so much they send bearings all over the world. Edited July 21, 2014 by Clerictgm mk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Hope.. hm.. warranty usually are headache of the dealer, so I've had no idea that it's possible to just email to Hope and solve the problem.
