CurtisRider Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 hope or revolver with an eno i really dont get along with king hubs, but you may like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 hope or revolver with an eno i really dont get along with king hubs, but you may like them im running a echo fixed rear hub with an acs on the front. miles better in my opinion and alot cheaper to replace a freewheel than a hub or freehub body. front freewheel is the way although they get hungry and eat your pants when your riding along :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 running a front freewheel puts more stress on it, its far better to run a rear freewheel, and it gives me you more engagement points at the rear than the front, i cant remeber the ratio stuff to prove that, just wait for tarty, jt or someone to come up with it but yeah an acs with a revolver is a very cheap and good replacement if you dont like hopes excellent hubs and customer backup :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 hope are great i use a bulb bad i no but i do and its fine, best hope hub would be a xc or a mono, the reason why hope are good is that if you snap your axle or bugger up your pawl and springs you can send the hub to hope and they will replace the hub conpoments for free and the hubs have enough engagements and reasonable priced king hubs on the other hand are good when you bed them in before you do that do not try and hop around because there will be endless skippin also king hubs you can service yourself if you have 2 7mm allen keys i think if you have enough money there is no reason why you shouldnt go for a king hub, if your not that rich and wanna save some money buy a hope or if you want a front freewheel go with the others and buy the revolver and acs hope this helps ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I love my hope hub, it very rarley skips and when it does a smooths over its mistake as soon as it makes it and has never happened when actually riding trials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials kid Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) at the minute i rate hope hubs mainly because all of my friends have kings and there's are starting to skip quite often. I think generally you should wait for the new hope to come out because they are supposed two be quite good.

G-Jordan Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 yo absolutely don't need any more engagement points then an acs gives you, i have had a king and changed from it to a acs and an echo fixed hub and the differnce in engagement was hardly noticeable and it didnt change my riding at all. george j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
