Because it took 8 months to diagnose that the hub was the root of the (admittedly bizarre) issue the bike was having :) and then another month of trying everything to fix it before I lost patience and bought the DT :) . The very (very very) short story is that I ride an ebike with a rotor magnet, and the Hope hub + rotor magnet causes a massive throw in the rotor that is so big the caliper can’t be adjusted to stop it rubbing.

Really happy yours have worked so well though! :) I would say maybe mine is a lemon but a friend got a Hope wheel at the same time as I had mine and has exactly the same problem, though it’s not as extreme as the one I had as his eeb uses a different rotor magnet position.]]></content:encoded>

To be fair we didn't buy a lot else bike-related last year and her dad had just popped his clogs so she deserved a bit of cheering up (plus, is coming into enough money to pay for them, though that's a long and tedious process...).]]></content:encoded>

How can you spend 9 months fighting with a hub that has about 10 parts in it? It either works or it doesn't and if it doesn't they'll replace it.

I've been riding them all year, no issues.]]></content:encoded>
