Any suggestions here? Planning to build up my first fat bike wheelset. Normally I do King hubs, but since they aren't available in the correct size I'm looking at these two. Hope is good, but I know nothing about the 907 hubs. Input?
I have both in the 190 I total agree with dfilerHope are 40 engagement points rather than 30 on the 907. That was the deciding factor for me, I like quick engagement and even 40 points is low in my book.
Otherwise they are fairly similar in specs. Both have interchangeable end caps for various axle options. With the hope fatsno hubs now using the same shell technology as all the rest of the hope hubs, it is likely that we'll see every conceivable option supported on those. I think the only one missing right now are bolt on 9mm/10mm options that fit in QR dropouts.
I'd go with Industry Nine if you are starting from scratch...Any suggestions here? Planning to build up my first fat bike wheelset. Normally I do King hubs, but since they aren't available in the correct size I'm looking at these two. Hope is good, but I know nothing about the 907 hubs. Input?
I build wheels for a shop that's a QBP dealer. He's been giving me Hope hubs to build for a month or so now.Are the Hope 190's readily available yet?
And if so, where did you get them?
Tanks!
I'm ready for the 3th set of bearings on my Hope (SKF last time) very disappointing, I really want to like them since I'm a "Hope Brake freak" but most by a alignment/flex problem to wear out the bearings that fast..My personal experience with Fatsno rear hub: hub bearing shot after 300 miles. Hope sent me a new bearing, no questions asked, and I installed it in a few minutes. I have read of many other problems with Hope bearings and I suspect there is a problem with the bearings themselves, because after swapping with Enduro bearings they seem to be pretty reliable.
Enduro bearings would prob be a good choice. Will investigate.How about Enduro bearings? They're awesome.
