NINER_boy Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Hope Pro II is the shizzz. Extremely durable and easy to get parts for (like changing thru axle sizes ect) Great stuff
arendoog Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 You can buy my DT Swiss comming off Giant29er. Done about 3000km.I have the same 2011 model with the loud hub .My lbs packed the hub tightly with grease, now it sound less irritating
Gnarly Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 DDP Tech 2's are the BOSS, and are interchangeable for QR and trough axle.
Li Mu Bai Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 We had a mate who rode with us who fitted one of those "I'm such a wanker, I need a Hope to f*ck up everyone else's ride with noise". He now rides alone. haha, had your happy pill today?
patches Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Noise can be a problem in the long run so can quiet hubs (like shimanos)
BLACKvoodoo Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 If you really want the noise peg a playing card onto your rear stay and let it flick against you spokes. By making the 'noise' comment you clearly prefer bling over sting.
BLACKvoodoo Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 And this whole "i need a load hub to warn pedestrians" thing is lame, If you need to warn people walking in front of you, You're on the wrong bike, wrong single track, wrong planet.

patches Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Shame, sounds like BLACKvoodoo has quiet-hub-syndrome. There are many that suffer in silence from this ailment
