And the Evo has 'Evo' etched on the hub body (might be useful, you never know!). I had a quick look at QBP's catalogue and didn't see a non-Evo Pro 2 FH (apart from a SRAM 11sp version), only the Evo versions. Anyway, here's a couple of links to UK shops selling Hope hub spares. I believe they are both happy to export.<br /><br />http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope/hubs/hub-spares<br />https://www.merlincycles.com/wheel-spares-75326/?brand=hope<br /><br />I hope that helps. Incidentally, I'm not associated with Hope, but I use their hubs & brakes. I wish they'd use steel inlays or something on their alloy freehubs - my 9sp SRAM cassette has a loose thin 17t sprocket that's not on a carrier, so I tend to avoid that gear in case it cuts into the FH splines. Time for a steel replacement, perhaps. <br /><br />Let me know when/if you get around to playing with this - I'd be interested. Might even be able to help.

The wrong body came in as a result, and the springs are completely different.<br /><br /> So, I would like the steel freehub body for the older hub, but at this point, I may have to compromise and just get a pawl/spring kit. Again- I haven't put a priority on this and I probably won't get around to sorting this out for quite a while, so my information has a lot of missing links concerning what I could do here.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-25983532648408306942015-12-30T13:58:33.863-05:002015-12-30T13:58:33.863-05:00Does that mean that you need a Pro 2 body, not a P...Does that mean that you need a Pro 2 body, not a Pro 2 Evo? And you're going for a FH body replacement, not just a set of pawls & springs?

The newer ones, (one of which I do have), has a larger ID for the bearings and doesn't fit the old hub body. I haven't given up on it, but I haven't had this on the front burner for a long time. <br /><br />I've got more pressing needs, but at some point I'll return to this and pursue it further.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-205361738658260482015-12-30T13:40:01.801-05:002015-12-30T13:40:01.801-05:00Did you ever get this hub back in use?

Yeah.....I guess you could say it has had a hard life!<br /><br />It's never been serviced since new, (bad on me), so there is that as well.

That trick would move them, but they still wouldn't slip off. <br /><br />Not even prying on them with a flat bladed tool would remove even a loose cog on one case I have here, which is still stuck on. Thus my rant on this a while back.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-53193407051735783742014-10-23T07:40:30.589-05:002014-10-23T07:40:30.589-05:00An easier way to remove cassette cogs that have no...An easier way to remove cassette cogs that have notched into the aluminum cassette body spline is with a couple of chainwhips to back the cog out of the the notch its dug.blackmountaincycleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266572418119863606noreply@blogger.com
