Hope hubs are not very reliable to say it mildly . . . there you go. I heard it at a Weatherspoons in Wimbledon recently. You were lauded that evening as well, for being on a club run with skinny tyres.

Hah, trial ride with the Kingston Wheelers, need to join a club.
25mm is indeed very skinny, like the fact the fixed wheel was not mentioned at all.

You're joking right?
Hope hubs are the hardest wearing hub I've ever used- when I rode mtb I had a set that last lasted 5 years and have since done another 7 for someone else.
Current road set have done 3 years, 3 sets of rims, and something like 38,000km. Zero maintenance.

I'd go for Hope over Chris King, so much easier to service, freewheel are easy to swap without tool too.
105 hubs last forever though.
