Wanted Hope rear hub 12x142

[caemis]

Hi, I am looking for a Hope hub, 12x142, silver ISO 6 bolt mount and 32°.

Cheers,
Nora

PS: Could swap with a PAUL WORD rear hub (135mm, Singlespeed, no disc)

Just an fyi, I think I'm right in saying that a standard 135 qr hub from hope can be converted with end caps, so you can widen your search if you're happy getting end caps if you come across a qr version

Quite possible. I know the boost hubs can be modified for different standards but I look into it regarding the qr hubs. I guess it depends when they were manufactured...

well my old 142x12 pro2 evo, best option for interchangeability, as 135qr or 142x12 or boost conversion to 148x12 so depending on the hub you can do all the 3 main sizes

Same with pro 4’s.

The only thing that gets complicated is the drive side end caps vary with the free hub.

Im not 100% sure about that.

I got a 142mm pro4 enduro new in the sales,I hadnt realized at the time it was 142, thought it was 148mm(serves me right from not reading the description properly) and bought the 148mm boost kit. But when I went to do the same on a 135 i was told by Hope that was a no no. So im left with the 142/converted, cant remember which spacers i took off so i can change it back to 142mm

I think the 142mm enduro wheel i got was 135mm already converted to 142mm. Apparently you need a 142mm specific hub, and only that can be changed to 148mm

Well that’s definitely not my understanding. I didn’t belive the do different 135mm hubs to the 142 ones.. only the end caps change.

Did you try the boost kit on the 135?

I didnt actually get around to that as after googling and asking on the STW forum i got conflicting advice and was informed that they do 2 hub sizes. I'd trust the STW advice over google results.

I might also have a Hope email, as it was a few years back and i cannot remember for 100%

So a 142mm hub is really a 135mm hub with different end caps, and a 148mm/boost is really a 142mm with the wider end caps.
