FAQs

What cassette standard does this hub use?

This specific model uses the SRAM XD driver standard.

How many points of engagement does the Pro 5 have?

The Pro 5 features 108 points of engagement.

Can I service this hub myself?

Yes, the hub is designed to be fully serviceable using standard hand tools.

Does this hub work with Shimano HG cassettes?

No, this is an XD assembly; you would need a different freehub body variant for HG cassettes.

How often should I service the bearings?

Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but annual inspections are recommended for most riders.

Troubleshooting

Increased drag or sluggish freewheeling

Inspect the zero-drag labyrinth seal for debris and ensure the bearings are properly seated and lubricated.

Engagement feels inconsistent or slips

Check the 6-pawl assembly for wear or contamination; clean and apply a thin layer of recommended hub grease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved engagement speed for technical climbs
  • Lower internal friction compared to previous generations
  • Highly durable construction with larger bearings
  • Easy to maintain and service at home

Cons

  • Requires specific axle compatibility checks
  • Higher point-of-engagement count may increase audible pawl noise
  • Compatibility limited to XD driver standard cassettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The HUB552 is designed for frames utilizing the XD driver standard. During setup, ensure that your axle interfaces align correctly with the hub specification. Because the Pro 5 is built for serviceability, you do not need proprietary or overly complex workshop tools to access the internals. We recommend periodic inspection of the pawls and bearings, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. When cleaning, avoid high-pressure water sprayers directly at the seals, as this can force contaminants into the hub. Use a high-quality, lightweight hub lubricant as specified by Hope to maintain the smooth operation of the pawls.
