Sometimes he gets it right and sometimes wrong, I might have a word with him.

It does but nowhere near the 5 second removal of a centrelock.
My dedicated centrelock lockring tool even has the rubber handle removed to sit flat against ~200mm rotors, might have to shave another 10mm if I ever go 220mm.
All the bikes we have bought/built in the last 3yrs are centrelock by choice.

To be honest, centrelock appeals to me - but as it is quite literally a no-Hope scenario currently, until that is resolved I’m a 6-bolt kinda guy.

Theory is sound. Hub options aren’t.

With the crap availability of Hope, then with that, the price rise. DT Swiss has taken top spot in my house, cheaper end caps and freehubs than other hubs, reliable and spares are relatively easily got, even in this shit mess.
The last ~5 sets of wheels I have built are all on DT (not including rim swaps)
Also got a bit of a growing collection of centlrelock rotors and lock rings.
They do roadie centre lock. So there may be Hope!So, no to the 50,000ft/lb 2-1/2” drive then? What it the screws come lose?

I like centrelock and the hubs I have had that supported it were good DT Swiss etc (I don't count Shimano as hubs, more aluminium ball races), current wheel sets use 6 bolt. Centrelock is better.

In 2-3 years, Hope has increased by over 50%.
A front was $90 and the rear was around $230 about 3 years ago.
Nearly $400 for a rear hope hub
and $160 for the front.Get Your Wiggle On | Cycle, Run & Outdoor Shop | Wiggle

They were my go-to brand for years, still got 3 sets of Hope brakes and 4 sets of wheels running on Hope hubs, never had to look at the hubs for maintenance either.$311 rear $120 front from Merlin.

Another thing that was giving me the shits with Hope lately was none of their hubs were coming with microspline from factory, you get to buy a hub for $315 then buy the microspline freehub for an additional $120.

Agree though not as easy to come by as they should be. Not sure why the big players CRC, Wiggle, Merlin don't have the option. It’s a bit odd.
