Specifications: A quality wheel built by hope in the UK, using hope\'s pro II 32 hole hub laced with DT Swiss DB competition spokes to either a DT Swiss 4.20D XC disc rim or a DT Swiss 5.10D enduro disc rim.

Cassette body: Aluminium Ratchet type: 4 pawl (24 engagement) DT Swiss EX5.1D Rim: The EX5.1d rim closes the gap between our X-country rim XR4.2d and the freeride rim FR6.1d. As a demand from the market we offer a rim with large width but light weight. High stability with a weight of 500 g and 28 mm width is guaranteed. Disc only, 500g. DT Swiss EX4.2D Rim,: The perfect cross country rim. The XR 4.2 d is light, fast and naturally 100% Swiss made. A high-end rim that exhibits only the most minimal manufacturing tolerances, resulting in a high wheel quality. Disc only, 425g. The wheels are not supplied with quick release skewers
Advantages: Super strong and light, sealed bearings means it will work forever Disadvantages: 20mm axle means it wont work on all forks
...Another excellent product from the Hope range.
The hub is perfect for all types of riding, its light enough for xc riders and also strong enough for the downhill riders. It runs on sealed cartridge bearings that are easily changeable, instructions can be found on the Hope website. The hub body is made of cnc'd aluminum so its light and still strong. It also has the standard 6-bolt disc mount so its compatible with all brake systems. The 20mm axle means it creates a very stiff wheel and front end of the bike that will take all abuse. It comes in all the standard hope colours so you can easily match it to you colour scheme.
A superb hub well worth the money, it will last forever...

Advantages: Light, strong, durable, relatively cheap, looks great Disadvantages: None
...a wheel as strong as can be made with any other hub that will last you ages. Just to make this hub even better it comes with a 2 year warranty on freehub parts! My advice...if you want a durable, good looking and performing hub...BUY ONE!...

Advantages: Smooth, Well built, Lightweight Disadvantages: Very loud when freewheeling, Difficulty fitting cassette
...of a Hoperear hub who gets annoyed by the loudness of it.
Unlike many freehubs, it's also surprisingly easy to service, requiring no tools the freehub just pulls straight off, revealing the ratchet mechanism, which is incredibly simple and easy to service. Fitting the cassette (cogs, for the non-cyclists!) takes a bit of gentle persuasion, however, in the form of a rubber mallet. Removing the cassette is even more difficult. Could do better there, I'm afraid.
In use, the hubs are a dream. Despite riding in mud, through rivers and general neglect of the bike, the hubs have stood up to it all admirably. Let's hear it for British Engineering!
Since I wrote this opinion, I've noticed two things:
1) Shimano XT cassettes seem to fit no problem, unlike cheaper stuff that just gets stuck.
2) Having lost the springs from the freehub...

Now, let's not get too worked up over this. It is afterall a mouse, and at the very bottom end of the market. However, costing only a few pounds this is a decent enough product which will perform all the basic functions well.
It's design is... more
