I don’t know, Hopes one of the few companies I trust to build something that is fit for purpose. So I will more than happily part with my money on that basis alone.
I’ve become really tired of warranty jobs, I’m going out to Wales during the summer to ride with my old man and brother. If something goes wrong on that trip, it will wind me up big time as we don’t get to ride together that often.
I really, really crave reliability now.
The back wheel on my Giant Reign fell off the other day. The maxle keeps unwinding itself and I have to now use locktight on that too.
Just getting **** off tbh, that Hope uses a proper bolt through. That very fact alone means I will happily splurge 3k on that frame, so I don’t have to worry about….you know….basiscs…like my back wheel not coming off in a rock garden.
