Wanted Hope in hell??

There is a black mk1 big un wheel on ebay its £130
Can't find any rears

Hub is too narrow to be mk1
An mk2 were 6 bolt disc

i've never seen a 6 bolt BigUn, got a pic? As far as I'm aware, the wide PCD discs are 5 bolt, and the 6 bolt are the current smaller PCD which every hub uses. never seen a wide PCD 6 bolt disc.

I think you are correct just been looking I think I ve got confused looking at the shape of the hub I don't think 6 bolt would be possible
All the mk2 hubs I ve seen have the oval sticker like this
Mine has the old style HOPE sticker though

Yours is the mk2 but they did do two different stickers for them as far as I know

I'm always seeing mk1 BigUns for sale, but rarely NOS. Here's a couple of used ones:

Thanks. Didn’t see the OB ones but yes appears NOS is going to be non existent

I think by the time the Mk2 came around they were already on their way out as the hub of choice as most downhillers had moved to Bulbs. That's always going to reduce the potential for NOS stuff to be available. The very last ones from memory were etched rather than stickers.

Hope never made a bigun with 6 bolt discs afaik. They were all 5 bolt.

No, all big uns are 5 bolt, as I found out when trying to source the discs.

Biguns are all 5 bolt. Are you thinking of the bulb (Big'Uns Little Brother) which was originally 5 bolt (with a splined spider) and latterly 6 bolt (originals had the bolt stub extend all the way to the flange, the later ones were like the Pro2 where they were truncated and there was a gap between them and the flange)?
