Does anyone know the difference in weight between the straight pull and standard spoked Hope pro 2 Evo hubs?
I'm looking to get some soon and am faced again with that common problem these days...choice.
Which one is lighter and you opinions please for overall strength for all mountain riding from both builds on Stans ZTR Flow rims.
Straight pull are reputedly lighter, but supposedly trickier to true should you buckle a rim. I saved money in the end and went regular

The hope stats suggest this is not the case - they're the same within a couple of grams.
SP is supposed to be stronger as theres no bend in the spoke, but I've only ever had spokes snap at or near to the nipple so I'm not sure how much of a weak point the bend actulay is.
SP look cooler, and thats what really matters!
Indeed spoon. Was good to meet you for the Swinley sexy party. Any more coming up?
Just bought a pair of Hope Evo SP's running Crests.
