Hello. I have loads of hope hubs (some the same as you show in your photo) including, hope pro 2 hubs, hope pro 4 hubs, hope xc/bulbs etc. I also have the hope C2 1999 hope torsion floating brake system like your silver one but mines black. How do I mount the floating brake to the hub? I see you have a little screw that I don’t have - I would like to get the hope floating brake running again (it was my dads and he used it on his 2004 kona coiler deluxe when I was younger). Sadly he died in 2015 so I can’t ask him how it works unfortunately. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, sorry to hear about your dad. That hub you have is not compatible with the torsion arm style caliper. Hope did a hub which was shorter in length to allow for the space the bracket takes up inside of the frame. It looks like you're missing a screw/bolt with a recess in it that is fixed to the frame, the hub then sits on this recess and normally on the cassette side. I have this exact setup, but it's on a bike in my garage loft and it's cold outside otherwise I'd take pictures.

Thanks for your reply, no need to apologise life has its downsides sometimes. I have a red hope hub like your ti glide too (mine isn’t ti though) . That could work. How would I mount to the hub? Do you need specific axle caps or something?

I'm not the guy who started this thread btw but here's a similar setup on another bike of mine.

So I see you have a nut before the QR nut, what’s on the end of the hub? Is it a different hub axle like this: (I may have one in my toolbox) I’ll dig out tomorrow

 

[MCA4President]

The regular looking nut on the outside of the dropout is what is holding the brake caliper to the frame. You can see the recessed section between the hub and caliper. This is what the hub sits into. I couldn't tell you what the hub spindle looks like, I've never dismantled it

The axle for this looks like a short version of the XC/BULB axle.
