Royce state that the hubs (except the Ti flanged hubs should not be laced radial). If someone does it it then tension must be limited and needs to be even to reduce the risk.
The hope hub failures are fatigue. maybe bad landing will bring that forward but it is going to happen sooner or later. also Hope know the hubs are going to be used by people who jump so they need to be able to cope with that. Given it happens Hope should really address the issue, maybe have with the Pro4's.
