    Fed up ofmy screw on freewheel hub. The hub is ok, but as i suspected screw ons are arse. By the time ive bought a white freewheel i could just buy a hope hub and forget about it (all my other bikes are on hope hubs)
    However, super star ss hubs look to be well designed (4 cart bearings, loose pawls etc) and are less than half the price of the hope. Hard to ignore as an option! Only disadvantage i can see is the alloy body so cheap sprockets need to be upped to slightly more expensive wide based sprockets.(no big issue)

    So. opinions and experiences? A direct comparison would be nice….

    I run Pro 2s on all my mtbs except the s/s which has a Superstar hub. Have to say it’s put up with my ‘robust’ style of riding. Still running smooth.

    Not had any issues with the Pro 2s either.

    I use wide single speed sprockets so can’t say whether it would like the ‘thin’ ones.

    Would probably go with hope for the aftersales.
