Hi

i have this type of titanium sleeved hope hub (i think the cassette body is Ti also)
hoperear.jpg

I dont know what it is called and need to get it fixed.
the bearings are shot and the axle is badly grooved from one bearing race falling to bits behind the cassette.

also the ratchet ring looks a bit worse for wear, can these be replaced also?

I have checked on Hope's site but cant see this version, also ive emailed hope on saturday and still had no reply :(

any help will be great

thanks

    Mono or XC rear hub.

    i think i bought this hub back in 1995 0r 96 it wasnt specified for downhill or XC and it is pre disk brakes....

    quite old but still looks good! mine are anodised blue
  • Sorry, no idea what it is called, but saw this on ebay earlier, hopefully a) it is the right hub and b) someone will know what they are called

    thanks guys

    i looked at the ebay link - that hub is VERY similar but the tapered part is machined in a different shape :) probably the same guts tho
