I had to do a double-take when I saw this. Hope, the brand synonymous with mountain bikes, making BMX stuff? Apparently yes! I got this image from Fastlane BMX Magazine and I must say that I am really happy to hear about this. According to the article on Fastlane BMX:
The Hope hub has been in design for a while now, but has taken a while to be actually be made. The picture shows it with a shortened freehub and a standard cog but the production one will have an international standard 6 bolt fixing and a choice of cogs from 15 tooth to 21 tooth, and also a 9 speed integrated cog. The production hub's will have an 80 tooth pick up. The rear hub will come in a 10mm or 14mm bolt option, with a bolt either side aswell as a 14mm nutted option. Hope are also going to produce a matching front hub to complement the rear ,which will have an option of a 10mm bolt like the rear or with a 20mm bolt through option .
I do not know about you guys but to me, that is pretty cool. Hope is to the UK what Profile Racing is to the USA. Great products that will last.
