i have noticed that pro 2s are around £120 and bulbs are about £130 and just wondered whether this means that the bulb is better or if theres another reason?? does anyone know???

Bulbs are £10 better
IIRC correctly, Bulbs are discontinued so Hope are obviously confident in the ProIIs being the hub of choice."Internet Forums - an amazing world where outright falsehoods become cyber-facts with a few witty key taps and a carefully placed emoticon."0 -
A rear Bulb has 36 points of engagment, whereas the Pro 2 has 24.
The rear Bulb is about 70 grams heavier than the Pro 2 but is stronger. Front hubs are about the same weight wise.
The Bulb has a Ti cassette body, the Pro 2 is aluminum.
I personally run Bulbs and have never had a problem. As to which one you chose, it really depends what you are going to use them for, and what you want out of your bike. Both are very good.0 -
thanks people i run bulbs also and find them excellent and very clicky hehe0

Can't say i've ever had a problem with either sets of Pro II's I've got. Both sets have been sweet!0

Pro II's are lighter and easier to get spares for.0

All Hope hubs are good.
I've had Hope XC ones which lasted years even getting hammered on full-sussers.
I'm running a mix of mostly Pro IIs now but have a Bulb front hub on one bike never had any probs with any of them.Dave S0
