from La Mesa, CA Date Reviewed: March 24, 2012 Strengths: So, so pretty. Weaknesses: So pretty i want to look at them more. It would be nice if Hope's gold ano matched Shimano's (Saint) gold ano. The Shimano gold is much more like real gold than Hope's somewhat bronze gold. It does match e*13's gold ano, though, so whatever.

from UK Date Reviewed: March 5, 2006 Strengths: Look nice, not as nice as a Salsa. Weaknesses: Metal to Metal interface poor design idea, required re-greasing in Scotland all the time (on both wheel and seat collar), I have a Rock Mountain seat collar which is amazing, Hope is junk compared. Yes they look nice and match Hope hubs, which are also poor compared to CK, Hadley. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Laggan, Fort Bill Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Deore, XT, Salsa etc. Bike Setup: RM Switch with full XTR and carbon, Fox 36's DHx air or Coil depending on riding. SC VP free with full SRAM X.0 and carbon, 5th rear shock (will be DHx soon) and Fox 40's, bolt thru dront and rear, so no skewers...... woo hoo, super stiff

from Spawn Ranch, CA, USA Date Reviewed: October 2, 2005 Strengths: Color is tight! The blue matches the adjusters on Fox Forx, the action and build quality is second to none.

from Santa Cruz, CA, USA Date Reviewed: March 9, 2004 Strengths: Clearly superior construction versus everything else out there. The brass bushing is a strong argument, as are the toothed steel rings on the end nuts. Combined with the ridges on the lever side, this QR really bites into the frame. It's not going anywhere. So much better than Salsa at the same price. I thought the lever would be much less ergonomic than it is from looking at it, I was pleasantly surprised. Weaknesses: People are gripping about price, but these are competitively priced with other products of inferior quality. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dead Campers Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Another Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Shimano XT, XTR (held just as well but not as sexy), salsa, mavic Bike Setup: Turner 5 Spot with Z1 FR QR20 and assorted goodies.
