I have been looking at fitting new headset bearings and as I’m a bit of a Hope tart I naturally looked at the Hope headsets, I just wondered if anyone has fitted any of these on their e150s/rs but more specifically the Pick ‘n’ Mix range, and was it a straight forward upgrade

I have looked online at headset bearings but there’s nothing better than a recommended product, I have a 2020 V1 e150rs, I want some bearings but not cheap bearings, just a decent pair that’ll last a few years, so any recommendation for a pair would be great and possibly a link please 👍

I have bought a pair of Hope brake kits but I’m sure that I’ll need to shorten the rear hose as well as definitely needing to shorten the front hose, anyway my question is about aftermarket brake hose parts, are they any good or should I stick to OEM parts, I saw this kit on eBay for around £8...

It’s coming to that time of year again and my family have been asking me what I want for my 58th birthday, I’d really like a full Hope brake setup, ie levers, callipers and rotors mainly because the Sram ones I have aren’t great, and also because the Hope brakes look awesome and I’m a Hope tart...

This is a little drawn out this question but bare with me please, a while ago I fitted some 155mm Hope crank arms and noticed a difference with super steep hill climbs, as earlier posted I’m going to buy a new Hope chainring but I’m thinking of buying a 36T version instead of keeping with the...

I’m going to buy myself a new Hope 34T chainring for my bike but I noticed in the instructions that Hope recommend fitting a new ‘O’ ring in between the chainring and the retaining ring, is this another case of renewing the chain link each time the chain is broken and refitted or can the ‘O’...
