DGrabiec Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) For my own reasons, I'll be switing from a 72 engagment hub to a 48 engagment hub. I'd love to go out and just test the difference myself, but i live up in nothern Canada so there aren't many / any trials riders here. Anyways, of course there is going to be less engagments per revolution of the cranks, but is that difference really THAT big to be worried?

Alex.loves.boys Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Not at all.I went from a tensile which is( 60 e.p not far of the 72 ) to a profile and i felt no differnce at all.It will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yeh but alex he's making a bigger changes, Im not saying your wrong, but not convinced. I think it would be noticable, but probobly not detremental.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I went from a king to a hope pro 2, took an hour to get used to fewer engagments, you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnagr Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I had a King, friend has a Pro Trials 2, barely noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 You do notice it, but it doesn't hold you back at all, I could ride with an ACS and still not get held back, but I can feel the difference from my King, but my mates Profile isn't any different really.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i run a king now couldnt go back to anything else, as well as being fast to engage it also feels really solid, when i ride a bike with another hub or freewheel it just doesnt feel up to it anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have tried bikes with Hope Pro 2 hubs (48 click) and bikes with King hubs (72 click), amd hardly notice any difference.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Short answer - NoYou may notice it, but aslong as your going to a good quality hub, you wont notice any difference unless you concentrate really hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 yeah, going between my pro2 and mates eno i havnt noticed any difference really, certainly not in riding even if it feels slightly odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Going from a 21ept Hope to a 72ept King or Eno, has NO difference. However, going from a high engagement to a low engagement is quite noticeable for a short while untill you get used to it.Meh, anyhub will do as long as it's a king, hope, deng, profile.

Krisboats Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Boumsong went from a king to a hope mono and after a little while his riding had actually improved, no more random stampage... he was pre-loading them peddles.Same with conner going from being used to his eno to using my hope xc, after half an hour or so he was fine with it.

MikeCottTrials Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i dont notice the difference going from my hope mono to pro2 to king and back again, but maybe thats because ive only had little goes and i havent really thought about it whilst on their bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I think your chain tension had alot to do with it aswell.I noticed the difference between a Eno on the front and a rear Profile. I do run longer cranks with the profile though.But i don't ride trials much so it didn't make any difference to me when riding. The fact that i did notice it to begin with was proberly because i was aware of the engagement change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 When my King went for a service, I used my spare wheel, which has an old Hope Sport hub in it with 21 engagements - didn't affect my riding at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
