Furthermore the strength of the pawl and drive mechanism is awesome. (Has to be the largest the largest pawls on any Mtn. Hub) Weaknesses: Less point of contact than some other designs. Bottom Line:

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: October 21, 2012 Strengths: Best value hub out there. They roll great, convertible, good array of colors available, and great sound. Weaknesses: Engagement does have some slack with only 24t. I do have a SS set which is an offset 4 pawl engagement, thus making it virtually a 48t. Bottom Line:

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: June 4, 2012 Strengths: The construction of the hubs. They are incredibly easy to service; also the hubs can be easily and quickly adapted to fit various axle sizes. Hope also has great customer support. Also, who can deny the attraction of anodized goodies in your choice of colors? Weaknesses: The only weakness I found over the years was remedied about 3 years ago. The old pawl springs would corrode and break after a bit; Hope is now using a different material for the springs and after 3 years I have not had one break. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Raccoon Mtn. Purchased At: Cycle South in Blue Similar Products Used: The only other hubs that I have ever owned were XT, they were very dependable but heavy. Bike Setup: Rip 9, Sir 9, Motolite ( all run Hope hubs and Stan's rims)

from Fort Collins, CO Date Reviewed: July 27, 2010 Strengths: Strong, no bearing play, a pretty component, simple to service (I can re-grease the pawls and get it all back together in about 15 minutes or less). Good strength to weight ratio, although at the long-term compromise of an aluminum free-hub. Weaknesses: NOT an efficient coaster. There is a sensation of every pawl pushing back while coasting. There is def. some sort of looseness in the freehub that developed after years of use, but that aluminum freehub should be replaced anyways. It gouges easily, and is scary light. I've heard there is a steel version of it...that would be a smart upgrade. Pawl springs broke after a year of use (back in 2007), BUT customer service out of Texas sent me new springs and pawls. Nothing else happened following 2 years of hard use. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Earls Trails, Amherst, MA Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $180.00 Purchased At: ChainReactionCycles. Similar Products Used: Chris king, shimano, formula, etc Bike Setup: Used these hubs on a FS XC and fully rigid 29er.

Weaknesses: Alloy freehub body is very soft, worth upgrading to the steel if you use singlespeed cogs or a cassette without a spider. The noise.
