Good times when you find one that suits hey?
My Sanction is tops, I can happily ride it on any 20km jaunt and have a fucking blast.
Ride my one (the white meta55 a few pages back) almost every where. Did a 103k race 2 weeks after getting it going and just did a 52k race on the weekend. Love over taking the weight weenies on it!

My wife was horrified when she first heard my Hope Hubs. I told her that is the sound awesome makes...
You are false! It means your not pedalling!!!!!!
Will be very interested to get your feedback.
In case you haven't seen it, here is a link on the same thing I posted a while back.

Haven't had wheels like this before! Does it have a 'bedding in' period? Reason I ask is the wheels seem abit 'sticky' ? They don't spin forever as I would've expected? And if I have it in the stand and pedal then Release the pedals it would start spinning slowly (the cranks) ??

New or secondhand??
With my Hope hubs, immediately after servicing hub, the new grease can initially make the hub a little sticky (and quieter).
Doesn't usually last long...

Yeh this gave me the motivation but ive worked out an easier way of doing it compared to that. Hopefully if it works i wnt need to change bearings or anything. Just takeold shock out and put the new one in

I'm in, will call you if anything changes
Recently got me a set of new hope/flow hoops and mine were a liitle sticky out of the box. nothing to bad though. Read your post and cranked my pedals and let them loose, easily spin for over 30 sec and man its loud! I have had them for a bit over a month and they do spin better now than when first fitted. loving how they feel on my bike!!

took it out for my first 'ride' this evening, riding down a 50m alleyway has justified the money I spent on them
dont know if they are lighter, but they sure 'feel' faster
cant wait to see how they feel once they bed in !
