I've just discovered that my front AND rear hope pro 2 hubs are badly cracked around the rotor mounts- looks like its due to heat expansion of the rotor rather than braking forces by the direction of the cracks. Additionally, the blue anodising around the rotor bolt holes has "flaked" away, supporting my suspicion of heat expansion.I've heard of previous Hope hub models cracking around spoke holes before. Any one else experienced this, and what can I expect from Hope?

    yes Hope pro 2 cracking is quite common. but not around the rotor bolts normally the spoke holes or the drive ring.

    contact Hope and hope. But i would be very surprised it it was due to heat.
