Morning all.

I have a Hope bulb front hub, and just been sent a QR adaptor for it (from 20mm), so i can build a wheel.

one of these:

Only issue is – the converter seems to be too long – even when it is threaded fully together, has ~5mm side-to-side movement.

Do i need any spacers? Have i got the wrong adaptor?

I’ve wedged it in the middle for now to build a wheel, but its far from ideal 🙂

Cheers

Looks like a BULB QR converted. What does it look like if you screw it right in outside of the hub and line it up – does it still look too long then??

you sure your hub is a bulb and not a pro2 ?

Is it a six bolt hub or is it a splined one with a lock ring?
The adapters are different!!

That one looks like the one for the older splined bulb.

They are a snug fit, try putting a bit of grease on the adaptor, mine was the same.
Measure the outside faces, it should be 100mm.

Not sure how to make sure though. 6 bolt hub – looks like i have wrong adaptor

It screws together fine and cleanly – runs out of thread – will measure it anyway

Right…looks like I need the other adaptor then.

Not sure how to check what hub/yr it actually is mind 🙂

It could be a bigun hub converter, I have one that only fits the bulb with some spacers on the axle.

Good luck getting it to fit.

You need one that looks like this

The month & year of manufacture should be etched on your hub under the hope logo.

I think my one has equal ends as per the first pic.

Balderdash 🙂
