I've bought a pair of wheels with a Hope Pro 2 single speed rear hub with no lock ring.
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=811&SortBy=Price&BrandID=959 ]There are Shimano and Campag, 11 or 12 tooth versions.[/url]
Which one do I need ?
While you're there, what about spacers ?
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=53936 ]They seem a lot of money for what they are.[/url]
Are they the same size as BB spacers ? I've probably got a few spare ones somewhere.
Can I use the plastic ones though, or have they got to be metal on a hub ?
I've used an 11T and a 12T shimano lockring on mine, no probs with either. Used a few old alu cassette sprocket spacers on the freehub, plus a couple from an old ss conversion kit. You should be fine with plastic BB spacers if they fit, a lot of cassettes have used plastic spacers.
normal cassette lockrong (12T) for me, shimano as the PRO2 isnn't campag
I have just acquired a set of spcers from Velosolo, they also sell lockrings, fast delivery
I run a [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=38652 ]Token 12T lockring[/url] on my Hope SS hub with a Surly 18T sprocket and have had no issues.
You can get them in some cool colours as well, although I went for boring silver 🙂
OK, thanks everyone.
So it's the same thread as a Shimano and it looks like the only difference between the 11 and 12 tooth ones is the outer diameter.
Hope SS hubs should come with spacers so, if you don't have the wheels yet, check to make sure you need spacers before buying.
I should have mentioned I bought them on Ebay and they were described as having no spacers or lock ring.
