    from the hope site:

    PRO 2 HUBS – DESCRIPTION
    The now proven range of Pro2 hubs have gone from strength to strength since they were launched. Countless tests, reviews and of course rider feedback have shown that the Pro2 is everything that we designed it to be.
    This hub features a one piece 7075 aluminium rotor body and pawl carrier. Four pawls engage into a twenty-four tooth steel ratchet which is fixed into the hub shell and is sealed with a frictionless, non contact labyrinth seal. The axle runs on five cartridge bearings. All Pro2 hubs are standard 6 bolt disc compatible.
    The hub shell is machined from a solid billet of 2014 T6 aluminium.
    The following types are available and can be interchanged with additional spacers/axles which are available separately:
    – Front QR
    – Front 20mm
    – Front 15mm
    – Front 9mm
    – Front Maverick fork
    – Rear QR
    – Rear 10mm Saint
    – Rear 12mm (135)
    – Rear 12mm (142) X12
    – Rear 10mm Bolt in (135)
    – The rear hub is also available in 12mm/150mm wide (note this is a new hub. Not a conversion) and also a trials / singlespeed (see separate page)

    I ordered a Hadley one from the states direct for £26 just googled it and it came up withthe distributor.
    what impressed me, was that I ordered on a Friday night and it arrived on Monday morning. The UK distributor was out of stock and quoted 2 weeks!

    who did you order from? the cheapest i could find was £36 ish shipped

    thanks for that heihei.

    i’ve been speaking to roger, it’s a shame they’re not adjustable, but i think i can live with that.
    i’d rather compromise on the ups then the downs.
    guess that will be my rev’s up for sale.

    you don’t need to mail them here’s the std settings:

    if you contact them they’ll give yo a starting point, not just tell you what everything does. as every frame will be a little different.

    making single track is a lot easier, just takes a long time to ride in.

    Agreed. Wish they’d do a coil version of the Rev or Sektor with something like the mission control DH damper. No floodgate, no platform, just shimmed comp + rebound.
    Something I’m working on

    loco, any more info? please

    Pastcaring all i can say what happened when MOJO
    put the 10mm spacers in and what i measure now
    Even I thought that was weired But the fork
    still measures 160mm in length.
    The same has what a guy i ride with he had the same thing
    done to his 36r and his is the same.

    i don’t disbelieve you, i just think it’s odd. maybe mojo put the spacer some where else to reduce travel without affecting a-c?
    i’ve lowered some marzocchi forks exactly the same way as the video and it alway affected the a-c. which is what i wanted.

    A group of us had problems with dozy ramblers and walkers today on a really fun descent on the Cleveland Way – they’d be walking 3 or 4 abreast blocking the trail, some with dogs all over the place, and see us about 50m away and not move or even allow some room. They were all walking towards us so coudn’t claim they were unaware of us. Had to slow to walking pace for most of them until they moved to one side.

    This happened with about 6 different groups in a 1km descent.

    Next time we’ll just hoon down and they’ll have to dive for it.

    shouldn’t you slow down for walkers on a shared trail anyway, no matter if the trail is fun or not?

    I had MOJO reduce my 36 and they put in 10mm spacers
    But the fork will stand at 160 before sitting on the bike.

    really? i know someone who had his lowered to 100mm and it changed the a-c by 60mm

    don’t the spacers go on top of the negative spring side. reducing travel and a-c?

    pastcaring

    a-c of a 36 is 545mm so i’d guess 525mm, as it’s only a spacer.

    thought about doing this myself, let us know how it turns out.
