What would be the expected life for the pawl springs on a Hope Pro2?
My hub became gradually quieter until when I was pushing bigger gears or putting in bursts of power there would be a loud clunk. Removed the freehub today and 3 of 4 pawls springs had either fractured or disintegrated.
The hub was new last October - seems a fairly short life span.
Contact hope. ( or the shop you got it from) I would bet you get a new set. They did have issues with some of the springs.
Lifespan = Random to variable
I've had some break in a couple of months, others last years. Hop will replace then for free though. 🙂
Phoned Hope and a new set is in the post. Cheers
I'll run the ratchet/pawls with thick gear oil instead of grease now I think. They were well greased but it was pretty cruddy.
That's exactly the same story as mine neninja.
Original springs wore out in about 8 months. Quick call to Hope and new ones received next day.
I also now use 90wt gearoil in the ratchet since. Seems fine.
