ramsew Posted November 15, 2012 Share would there be an issue with performance if I used a Chris King Hub for rear (quick engagement) and hope Evo for front (cheaper)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted November 15, 2012 Share CK front not that costly, its the CK rear thats kuk expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted November 15, 2012 Share Why not CK's front and back, or Hopes front and back? why you want to mix? if it's price, wait a week or 2, or a month, safe the money and make it looooooook nicer. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI'm looking for quicker engagement than my existing Hopes, yes it is price would rather save where I can and spend on something else like a reverb stealth dropper post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 15, 2012 Share try the Superstar Trizoids rear, and Switch Evo front. Far quicker engagement than Hope Pro2 Evo, for less than the pro 2 evo. www.superstarcomponents.com the front hub is stupid cheap, and extremely good quality. Rear is even better, and sounds like a CK Edited November 15, 2012 by cptmayhem ramsew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 15, 2012 Share ah. Just rear hub. Go for the Trizoid. Crow has them on his Ibis, which I'm riding on at the moment. Super smooth, and 120 points of engagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 15, 2012 Share Are you doing trials on your bike? If not, then is the quicker engagement really that big a deal? If it is, then I'd either go for the Trizoids, or fork out for the matching Chris King hub. Cos non matchy hubs are like bar ends... not cool!

Johan Bornman Posted November 15, 2012 Share would there be an issue with performance if I used a Chris King Hub for rear (quick engagement) and hope Evo for front (cheaper)? It makes perfect sense. Nothing wrong with mix and match. And of course, there is no performance issue. The bike just sees hub. Bikes are kinda dumb in that way.

Cycho Posted November 15, 2012 Share Um... guilty of running this setup on my single speed!!!!! Had no hassles - Use the Hope front because of its ability to run quick release and 15mm with adaptors.... Often move my wheels around, so useful! ramsew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
