Watching eBay for a used Pro 2 Evo instead
I'd take a used XT over a new Hope :)
HB-M758 in 36H are still out there if you want 6-bolt
gbj_tester-
Just been through all the archived spec PDFs:
HB-M678 is listed as 32 or 36h in the 2012-2013 specs, but a lot of places seem only ever to have stocked the 32h version.
The specs for 2010-2011, 2009-2010 and 2008-2009 list both HB-M778 (Centrelock) and HB-M758 (6-bolt).
Before 2008, 15mm thru axles didn't exist yet according to Shimano.
So I'm probably looking for hubs delisted 6 years ago or 4 years ago, in a hole count that was unfashionable even then.

Is that because of cup and cone versus sealed bearings or something specific about Hope?

Options for a 36h front hub with a 15mm x 100mm thru axle?
One. HB-M8010.
All the Novatecs I've seen so far have been either max 32h or QR only.
