ShiroKage Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 if you're after a decent QE then spend a little extra and get a bulb, thats got 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 if you're after a decent QE then spend a little extra and get a bulb, thats got 36 I heard, but don't hold me to it, that the freehub on the bulb was considerably weaker than the XC because the teeth were smaller?

ShiroKage Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 hmm havent heard that but might be true.... my mate's used one on his setup for a couple of years with no problems... Any one else shed any light...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 When people talk about skipping, do you mean silently - you go to pedal and it's not there. Or do you mean a loud "CLANK" when you go to pedal and it skips to the next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo_Monkey Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 XC is definitely 21 engagement points, i have one on my zoo - it never skips. the bonus of a hope is when it dies hope will sort it out so it more of an investment for the future! bulbs are better i have one on my pashley 24mhz, 36 engagement points of sweetness. another good point about the hope are the seals are made for the UK market so last well in our crappy conditions plus the cartridge bearings are cheep to replace if they go. king is better but the new echo has the same amount of engagement points neither has a fantastic (UK based) warranty like the hope so who can tell which is better in the long run. we will have to see what the echo is doing after 6 months of abuse :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Personally, i would have a king, but only if it NEVER EVER skips! i wouldnt pay £300 odd on a hub that skips alot.... plus, i think that the kings are a waste IMO (but id still have one) cause you have to buy new freewheels n shit for them cause they arnt strong enough for trials n shit :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control-Trials Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 anybody no how many engagement points the hope mono has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 None of my kings have ever skipped. Just make sure you use the right lube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo_Monkey Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 anybody no how many engagement points the hope mono has? a hope mono is basicaly an xc without a disk mount - so 21, a good choice fore trials the ti ones are realy light if you are on a budget then ----- personaly - i would go for a ACS claw free wheel on a bmx style hub, 32 engagement points and the free wheel cost about £5 ! or you can upgrade to an ENO white industries free-whee for £59 (on ebay) and get 72 engagement points. you can put the freewheel on the cranks and get a fixed hub (echo or onza are a good choice). if your freewheel brakes then who cares they cost a 5er get a new one plus they dont skip (acs anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 cant remember exactly how much more money they are but get a profile rear hub. they are amazing i had one for 8 month sbefore it got knicked an dit never slipped once form brandnew. and i dont exactly ride lightly.
