Product Information

Full details

Designed for mountain bikers and cyclists using Hope Pro 2, Pro 4, or Pro 5 hubs, this conversion kit is the ideal solution for those upgrading their forks or swapping wheels between different bike builds. The primary benefit is the ability to adapt your existing high-performance hubs to modern axle standards without needing to purchase an entirely new wheelset; however, users should ensure they are selecting the specific kit variant that matches their required axle diameter and fork type to avoid compatibility errors.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this kit work on my Pro 2 (non-Evo) hub?

This kit is specifically designed for the Pro 2 Evo, Pro 4, and Pro 5. Compatibility with the original Pro 2 hub varies by specific part; please check your hub model version carefully.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, most Hope conversion kits are designed for tool-free installation. They are press-fit by hand.

Can I use these to convert a rear hub?

No, this specific guide and kit set refer to front hub conversions only.

Are these kits sold as a pair for both sides of the hub?

Yes, each kit includes the necessary components to convert both sides of your front hub.

How do I know which axle standard I have?

Measure the inner diameter of your fork dropouts and check your fork manufacturer's specifications for the required thru-axle size.

Should I apply grease to the new caps?

Yes, a light application of grease on the O-rings and contact points helps with a smooth installation and prevents moisture ingress.

Troubleshooting

End caps are difficult to press into the hub

Ensure the hub body is clean of debris and apply a thin layer of bicycle-grade grease to the O-rings.

Wheel feels loose after installation

Double-check that you have chosen the correct kit variant for your specific axle standard and that the caps are fully seated.

Difficulty removing existing end caps

Use a soft-jawed plier or a dedicated hub tool to carefully pull the caps without scratching the aluminium surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retain your existing wheelset when upgrading forks
  • Cost-effective alternative to buying new wheels
  • High-grade CNC machined aluminium construction
  • Simple, tool-free or minimal-tool installation
  • Reliable, factory-matched tolerances

Cons

  • Requires specific kit for each unique axle standard
  • Not compatible with non-Hope hub models
  • Improper installation may affect bearing tension

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, remove your current wheel from the fork, pull out the existing end caps, and press the new adapters into the hub body by hand or with a rubber mallet if necessary. Always ensure the internal hub seals are clean and lightly greased before inserting the new caps. These kits are exclusively compatible with the Hope Pro 2, Pro 4, and Pro 5 series. Regularly inspect the end caps for wear, particularly if you ride in muddy or abrasive conditions, and wipe away debris to prevent grit from entering the hub bearings.
