Hope Bulb Hub... Will It Fit Into Horizontal Drop outs??

[Ride_Guy]

Im going over to england soon.. and getting a front wheel with hope bulbs and a hope bulb rear hub seperate, my bike a horizontal drop outs(DMR Trailstar) will the hope hub in the 12mm bolt up mode,fit in the drop outs?

Have heard of ppl drilling out drop outs etc to get them to fit into verticle drop outs, so whats the deal with horizontal???


Thx

12mm boltup will fit, you'll just need to file out the dropout completely. There should hopefully be enough meat on the dropouts to cope.

so u mean ur hope hub is 12mm bolt up, i dont think that will fit in horiz.
correct me if im wrong
but i had to drill my dropouts to run a hugi freeride 12 thru axle

nah your dropouts will be 10 mm. but thats only a mm top and bottom. easy done.

 

[curtisrider]

is that that phat massive hub?

I'd just think take 2mm off the lower edge of the dropout, and all will be good.

But then you lower the whole wheel by 1mm cos the centre of the axle is 1mm lower, and that will cause CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF YOUR BRAKES and might cause shifting gremlins in your ears.

Anyone know if the Bulb rear hub is loud?

 

[Rik]

How loud is too loud?

Oh, and Socket, I think with horizontal DO's that lack sliding mounts, the bike comes stock with brake failure and shifting gremlins.

is that that phat massive hub?

i think they have shorter spokes on one side...not the huge hubs but they are thick on one side and taper in

How loud is too loud?

I don't have any dB readings but something like Aireal Switch, Sun Ringle, Chris King.... that kind of noise level.

hahahahahahahaahahaa and automatic wheel removal via jump casing....

 

[Rik]

At least he's talking about boltup.
Running a QR on horizontal is a great way for your knee to get aquainted with your stem. Ouchies.

do you need hope brakes to run these?

 

[Rik]

You'll need a hope compatible rotor at least.
From memory, Hope use metric rotor dimensions too, which means you'll have to fart about making brackets to mount other brakes to get the lined up properly.

 

[j5ive]

yeah the rotors are a pain in the arse, tryed to get one to work with a hayes and it just wouldn't line up (not quite 6 inch?) and getting adapters is near impossible.

how loud is loud eh..not as loud as hugi freerides
drill the dropout it will be cleaner than filing 2mm and ull be there all day filing...just make sure u dril accuratly eachside
