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.
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.
