Hi,
Got 36s on my 5.5 running pro 2s. After tightening the axle and clamp skewers there is side play.

Is this likely the hub beearings, or maybe the axle not clamping up the hub enough to take out the play??

can you replaces with standard bearings or are they hope specials??
cheers

    could be that the spacers are wrong, there seem to have been a few that are having probs with fox forks, contact hope or the supplier of the hubs.

    Strak give MOJO a call and ask to speak to an engineer and go through the
    set up and at lest you'll know that part to be correct or incorrect.

    Then give Hope a call and then go from there

    Have you tried to tighten slightly the bottom levers on the fork?

    im hearing it is a known issue that thte spacers are slightly undersize on some pro2s that only shos up on 36s - ill give hope a call 2mz

    I dont want to risk tigtening the axel clamps more in case of cracking,,,
