Lods Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Went out on the 24 trials bike for the first time in a while last week, started by doing some hops and what not then got onto back wheel and hopped onto a wall.... upon hopping onto the wall there was an almighty clunk! Hub has somehow snapped inside.... anyone ever had an issue with this or anyone know how I can fix it or do I need to buy a new hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shrewsbury Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) You can unbuild the wheel and send just the hub (excluding the spacers and sprocket) back to hope and they should be able to fit a new axle for you and possibly service it. Theres normally a small charge as it’s an old hub, but at least it will be repaired within a week. It’s best to maybe ring them first and see what the deal is with this type of hub as they have upgraded there’s to Pro 4s but I don’t see why they couldn’t repair it if they have spare parts in stock for older hubs. There Warranty form is this link which you fill out when sending hubs back. https://www.hopetech.com/_repository/1/documents/hubs_2019.pdf Edited January 31, 2020 by John Shrewsbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bourde Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Yes he can if he has a vice. Pushing the bearings back without the appropriate tool might be tricky though. I heard that the 12mm version of the Hope pro II axle broke. The 9 mm or 10 through version was stronger.

aener Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 No - that's a 12mm through-axle version. With technical parts like this I'd always recommend dropping the couple of quid extra and getting it from a reputable source: https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/axles/hope_pro_2_pro_4_trials_axle/c595p10778.html?pos=2436&search_params=YTo3OntzOjEyOiJjYXRlZ29yeV9pZHMiO2E6MTp7aTowO3M6MzoiNTk1Ijt9czoxNjoiY2F0ZWdvcnlfcmVjdXJzZSI7YjoxO3M6ODoia2V5d29yZHMiO3M6MDoiIjtzOjk6ImJyYW5kX2lkcyI7TjtzOjQ6Im1vZGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjtzOjQ6InNvcnQiO3M6OToicHJpY2VfYXNjIjtzOjEwOiJjb3VudHJ5X2lkIjtzOjE6IjEiO30%3D Lots of options there. You'll want the 10mm Pro 2, unless your hub has "Evo" written on it, then choose that one If it's a stem, or tyres, or something simple then ebaying is fine, but I've had some bad experiences with people making mistakes or just flat out lying with selling little parts like this. Maybe I've just been unlucky/stupid over the years though. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_t Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 My mate snapped a hope axel, he phoned them up and they sent him an upgraded steel axel free of charge! They didn't even ask proof of purchase or if he was the original owner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
