Afternoon all, I've a pair of Hope Pro 2 Evos and just noticed that theres some play in the rear hub, how do I go about removing it? I've always had Campag wheels in the past with the collar under the dust cap, but I assume these aren't the same.

    There shoudn't be play, so assuming both the press-fit caps are tight in place, then you have at least one worn bearing

    New set of bearings then and a search for a bike shop that'll fit them? Great days. I've only had them 10 months n'all.

    You can't moan if you don't even know if you need new bearings and how many. Most likely it's only one.
    You probably used it a lot or left it wet in the cold

    Damn me riding my bikes.

    I am little disgruntled, if you'll pardon the pun, as the rear wheel of that set has been nothing but trouble since Hope boxed it up wrong and sent me the wrong freehub. It's lost all the tension on the non-drive side twice, had 2 broken spokes and now this. I bought them as a set of "fit and forget" wheels to be my only set for a year or so as we were a bit skint and I'd sold all my nice stuff.

    No need to involve your LBS if you're remotely competent at tinkering.

    Just peruse the attached video

    A bad build, something Hope is not immune from... they outsource the builds and as a result the quality is inconsistent

    Do they? I was under the impression that Hope's wheels are machine built at their plant using bespoke machines.
