Note the "Hope Hoops" laser-etching? Bought as part of a wheelset from CRC back in early-2018 when it was cheaper to buy a wheelset than individual hubs. Been rebuilt with Nextie carbon rims and has had a run on several of my bikes since.

Total weight - Don't know, don't care. Feels light enough in use, doesn't feel so light I'm going to break anything.

Future plans/ideas:
I've ordered new fork decals (matte silver/chrome on black background) already, and have a set of silver Hope Pro 4's sitting aside waiting* to bring the matchy-matchy up to my normal (obsessive) standard.
*I'm going to order some asymmetrically-drilled Nextie rims to try thinking the shallower rim height might increase vertical compliance of the wheelset somewhat... Not that it massively needs it, more "just because"...
I also have an extended lower headset bearing cup aside in case I want to slacken the thing off another half a degree, but I'm going to ride it in stock form for a bit first to get a feel for if it needs it.
