Review
this hope hub is the best product i have spent so much money on for so much quality. even if you land hard on it, it takes it. i have never ridden such a nice hub as this one. if you get the rear hub in steel you save alot of money than you would if it was in aluminium. the good thing is that you can get spare parts for it, for example bearing, spindle etc.

Review
Brilliant hub for the price, sound nice when freewheeling, ultra strong but once the freehub misses, its on it way towards a trip back to hope for ratchit replacment!

Makes a horrible BANG when it misses, kinda like a chain snapping and if you are about to go big, it scares the living B-Jesus out of ya!

Review
these are prbably the best value for money hubs on the market. the engagement is pretty good (48 engagement points) and the respectable weight make it an easy buy over any shimano hub. although the bearings in my set decided to die after a couple of months this however isnt a huge problem seeing as they are cartridge style units - pop em out and pop em in. j
