mackey Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i didnt notice it in MBUK but looks nice but i agree with you it will probably take a while to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Seen it, tried it, broke it. That was Mk1 think there something sill like Mk8 out now thats got the Hope Pro II trials system in use, a coil spring. It's the same spring system as what GT used on there top of the range hub, not Gt/Hadly. The spring is coiled aorund the Drive shell and paws and helds in really nicely and are a lot wider and thicker. It'll be out soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 ^ I think we have spoken on msn mate about someone doing this hub for you. It's a very old system in yours and nothing like the above hope/topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingle6 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 do you think that the hub will be out before the end of the year? because i need a new single speed hub to replace my old DMR revolver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmrbrad Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I cant say i have ever seen that before either. A local guy used to have a Hope single speed hub it involved an old screw on style free wheel not a cassette mechanism. If they bring the hub into full production it will be good for the scene as its single speed it will allow a stronger wheel because of the zero dish flanges and cassette.

Ashley Smith Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Seen it, tried it, broke it. That was Mk1 think there something sill like Mk8 out now thats got the Hope Pro II trials system in use, a coil spring. It's the same spring system as what GT used on there top of the range hub, not Gt/Hadly. The spring is coiled aorund the Drive shell and paws and helds in really nicely and are a lot wider and thicker. It'll be out soon enough i didnt know you had used this hub pete, as far as i know and am still awear there are only 3 trials riders in the country using this pro 2 hub, there names being me akak ashley smith, rik duckworth, and joe shepheard, and i have seen the list of other none trials riders who have this hub, and sorry mate but your name is not on this list........................ you may have had a go with the old style spring that you mentioned but cartainly not on the new leaf spring design, there are only a few in existance to date.............. however they are due out early december, that was quoted from hope this week. the single speed hub shown is prelimainary the same as a pro 2 trials, but with a smaller barrel, all internals are the same as the standard barrel pro 2 but with a wider shell to give a dishless rear wheel, i have recently been in talks with hope about this new single speed hub, it turns out that you can get six of hopes new cogs, side by side each other on the single speed body, which is good fro trials as it conforms to british championship rules............... however that is still an idea, i receive my single speed version pro 2 next week when the barrles are finished being machined, theres only two of the hubs shown in existance so far, one of which is on a test bike for orange i believe and the other is on one of the hope bosses bikes, (simon sharpes) however back to the post, the pro 2 (24 eps) and pro 2 trials (48 eps )hubs are defiantley out in december the single speed version will be early next year with some other exciting new products from hope any question please post in this topic cheers ash ps pete where did you get mk 8 from there was only 5 different models made over 1 1/2 years?

Ali C Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I am pretty excited about the single speed hun, really excited if it can take 6 cogs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingle6 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Do you know if there will be a single speed disc specific front hub? Or will it be part of the pro2 series of hubs and the pro2 front hub will make up the pair of hubs? Because I think its always nice to have a pair of hubs! :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewholdsworth Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) Do you know if there will be a single speed disc specific front hub? Or will it be part of the pro2 series of hubs and the pro2 front hub will make up the pair of hubs? Because I think its always nice to have a pair of hubs! :turned: pro2 front hub is in the pipeline i believe, no idea on the stage of development but trialnoir has/had one and ive seen a few other test ones. but single speed specific front hub?? not sure what u mean but single speed only applies to your gears and hence only rear hub. very very light hub, send questions ash's (trialsnoir) way, he'll help.

dingle6 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think that what I meant was will there be a pair of hubs that look similar? Like there an XC front and rear just wondered if there would be similar for the single speed hub! Sorry if that did not make much sense!
