I have posted up a few times recently regarding the lack of service i deemed i got when my Hope Headset packed up. TBH i will never buy another Hope Headset because i think they are a poor design and not worth the money.
However, i do run hope hubs and rate them much better than the shimano hubs (XT) i ran for years. On yesterdays ride the rear ProII freehub lost all drive. It happened AFTER the climb out of Watendlath SURPRISE SURPRISE. It actually regained drive for the climb up Honister pass as well 
Anyhow, back home i dismantled it to find that (A) the hub came apart exactly like the video. (B) Every spring had snapped in the hub. Checked out CRC and they arent in stock so i called Hope this morning. The springs are in the post FOC 
So my point is, the Hope ProII is a lot more easily serviced than i expected and Hope suprised me with their willingness to sort out my hub at a moments notice.
