Hope Pro 4: Behind the Hubs

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 3 янв 2016
  • From our very first Ti-glide hubs launched back in 1993 we've have had a reputation for producing some of the most durable and high quality hubs on the market. This attention to detail has been carried into the new Pro 4 hub range as they are a direct development of the successful Pro 2 EVO.
    Meet the people behind the Hope hubs in this edit - and see the extent of designing, testing and manufacturing which goes into each hub we sell.

    The rear hub has a gorgeous noise...Built to last. I'll be brand loyal going forward.

    So proud to be a Hope dealer...
    Been running Hope hubs on my bikes since before the Ti-gilde was even available.... And never ever had any problems with Hope products. Which is why I like to sell them. Been a dealer since 2011 and have had only one warranty issue in all that time, which was dealt with super-fast.

    It started out of necessity, I needed a headset that could accommodate a tapered steerer conversion, and that beautiful red anodised headset started an addiction that's just arrived at rebuilding my rims with Pro4 hubs, front and rear in shiny red :) Thanks Hope, great to see behind the scenes... keep going :)

      I know I'm late but how long have you been using your hub and how do you like it? Also what kind of bike are you riding? I have a dirt jumper, do you think the Pro4 would be a good hub for dj? I'm looking to treat myself this year and I heard that Hope makes killer products for a really good price (around 250€ is more than fair for what seems to be high quality hub) and I'm not paying 460€ for Industry Nine no matter how good they are.

    Just ordered the Pro 4 for my Marin Bobcat Trail 3 which comes with a Marin branded Joytech rear hub. Needless to say the bearings aren't sealed very good on this thing and are on their way out. It's a HG Freehub body running 12 speed Eagle NX so I also wanted a steel freehub body and the more research I did the more I leant toward Hope hubs until now when I finally ordered.
    Cannot wait to get it in hand and then onto the wheel!
