I don’t have any issues with weight, or a bit of seal friction and with those two caveats, im of the opinion that if you’ve not bought hope hubs you’ve bought the wrong ones.
Ive got 4 rears, (Pro4, Pro2, Pro2SS and Bulb) and two front hubs and have never had any issues with any of them. Ive got a Hope Bulb-TiGlide on my tourer which i bought second hand from a mate around 2004, who was retiring it off his downhill bike. Ive had it on a dirt jump bike, XC bike, Single speed and now its on my Disk trucker tourer. I think i’ve changed the bearings on it once?
Pro2 is hung up in the shed because the bike it was on died. Boost Pro4 on my current bike has never seen any maintenance at all in the past 5 years and is still perfectly smooth.
Had a second hand HopeXC off here too, which was trouble free. was on a bike that got nicked iirc.
