24 hole Hubs 花鼓 on 27.5 MTB wheels

xirob

Any C-Hings able to advise me for what brand of wheel hubs for MTB 27.5 inch on 24 hole spokes.  Initially was thinking on Hope Pro 2 Evo or Chris King but found both brands do not make 24 hole spikes based on auction website.  My current wheel is 27.5 wheels with 24 spoke as I use Roam 50 27.5 wheels to cater for my Sram xx1 gear.  Will be appreciated if any C-Hing has experience on this hub field. I would like to hub to be sounded and run smooth.  Specs something familiar to Hope Pro 2 Evo (40T).  Thanks a bunch

其實花鼓可以另外買，你27.5軨，出去單車鋪配返個24窿嘅Hub，再搵人織咪得囉，再者，其他牌子都可以揾到，如果冇記錯，24窿嘅Hub你去D賣BMX嘅零件舖搵會易D。希望幫到你！

其實如果你係喺香港嘅話，可以去觀怪，油怪或大怪睇吓，將你用緊／想揾嘅件話佢知，佢哋知點做，如果你唔想買新件，都有二手選擇。

There are not too many 24 hole hubs availiable........most are pre-built wheelsets......
as I remember Roam 50 hub use DT internals, Which basically never fail. I use DT hubs on every kind of bikes I have.....DH, AM.....they all performed flawlessly. only complaint is low POE.

Why do you want to swap the hub anyway????

Thanks C-Hing for the advice.  The reason I want to change hubs as currently Sram hubs I have sound too quiet and also not that smooth.  Yes, I encounter problem with finding hubs to fit current Roam 50 wheels.  A lot of good sounding and swift hubs are mainly for wheels with 28 or 32 spokes.

There is almost none of 24 holes hub availiable on market......is your sram wheels very new?? if yes it may takes time to run in until smooth.

I think you can consider just to custom order a rear wheel with 28 spokes, just if you dont mind unmatching front and rear.

I may just keep those sram wheels if I were you, they are very darn nice :)

Thanks for follow up C-Hing.  Yes I might change to 28 holes hope pro evo hubs and that means change of a wheel set.

Pro2 hubs are loud enough..... even I am on a fast downhill run I could  hear my buddy`s pro 2 hub......even he`s really far away. Loud hubs seems good when you first have it but soon you may feel it`s very annoying.

By the way, Pro 2 hubs are very durable, pro 2 Evo hubs are not as good. so if you can get an old pro 2 hubs you are lucky!!!

Happy riding!!

C-HING, seem pro in the hub knowledge.  I will try to get the old version one. Thanks for your advice.

C-Hing, one more question - Any good 27.5 "wheel sets to introduce if I want to put on Hope Pro 2 hubs as I want something lightweight.  Some budget range like ZTR or Mavic.

what kind of riding you usually do?? XC?? AM?? DH?? or just on road???
If you decided to use pro2 hubs or any aftermarket hubs, I would recommend get it completely custom built by a bike shop, It would be a waste if you buy an out of box wheel set.

ZTR have some nice rims and the price are good, from 4xx-7xx per rim, also spank rims are very stiff, but a bit heavier.

If you ride XC or on road stuffs only, or you will never run a tyre wider than 2.1, just get a narrowew rims (internal width of 19-21mm)
anything wider (2.25-2.5 inches) I would recommend at least 23mm internal width or wider (25 is good), if not the tyre profile (the outer shape) will be like egg and not round, hence a narrow tyre footprint and very bad traction on the trail, also way much easier to pinch flat if you are not using tubeless.

Thanks C-Hing for your advice.  I use mainly on road riding but Hope pro 2 hubs don't have anything for 24 hole rim.  My current Roam 50 wheels (27.5") run a tyre of 2.1 as I am not a mountain rider so wider rim and tyre will add more weight and too much grip on road which intend will slow down the speed.

C-Hing, yes you are right as it is pretty hard to get Hope pro 2 hubs now as it is all with Hope Pro 2 Evo.  Just wondering is that a big difference of older Pro 2 and Pro 2 Evo- I mean in term of durability??

Thanks for C-Hing advice as I have another mtb using 26 x 1.95 tires and found it lighter weight to ride but again somehow seem not that stable when down the slope and also balancing when up the slope.  It is good to have slim tyres for sprint.  I think I will use 27.5 x 2.1 tubeless tyre for my next ZTR wheels with Hope Pro 2 hub.
