I can potentially get a staff trade purchase
How much discount? FSA IS2 headset + HB-R7000/FH-R7000 hubs + BBB BSP-85 seat clamp comes to about £105, you'd need more than a third off rrp just to get a Hope rear hub for that🙂
gbj_tester-
I concur.
You dont need the whatever number of engagement points unless you do stop-start a lot i.e. BMX or trials OR bike polo.
I have both, regular non clicky hubs for commute, MTB and road/shopper.
Clicky White Industries freewheel and Hope hubs for bike polo.
Madison has some pretty nice R7000 hubs to DT Swiss 460 with DT Swiss spokes for not a lot of money.
I've installed many on customers bikes and I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the reply.
I appreciate it.
Fully agreed on colour matching parts... bike hardware should be black or silver.
I can forgive a painted stem... that often makes sense.
I think I can potentially get a staff trade purchase through my work so that's a key motivator in choosing HOPE to be honest.
Thanks again.
Really good of you.
