I received a Hope Hoop from Wiggle yesterday – Pro 2 Crest front wheel. Its very nice 🙂 However, all of the other bits were missing from the box – no rim tape, 15mm conversion or spare spokes. I’ve asked Wiggle about it but has anyone else had this happen? Do Hope wheels normally come with the rim tape already fitted? Just feels a bit odd.

Mine came with rim tape already fitted.

Give Hope a ring/email. IME they are great at sending out small bits and pieces if they are missing.

My Pro 2/355s came with velox tape, 15mm conversion and spare spokes, and the wiggle description says:

Supplied with wheel
Rim tapes
Spare spokes, nipples and rim stickers

So yep, definitely missing them.

I’m not too worried. I know they definitely should have been in there and I’m confident that either Wiggle or Hope will put it right.

Jim, did your Pro2/355 have the tape already fitted? I wonder if Hope don’t fit the tape on Stan’s rims because the customer might want to use Stan’s tubeless tape.

My 355s had the tape in a bag with the spare spooks.

Cool. Sounds like I’m just missing the bag of bits then!

yep -all the bits (15 mm conversion stuff, velox tape, spokes and hope stickers) should come in a clear plastic bag with the wheel

Correction to my post above (FWIW), I had to fit the rim tape.
