I am just wondering what size the flange is on a front Hope pro 2 hub because I have a UK 2007 Giant STP 1 and want to change the hub without having to change the spokes. Anyone know? Thanks, James.

Dude, no offence but thats stupid.

Re-building a hub onto the same spokes is a bad idea full stop. The wheel will never be as strong as it should, and would be if you got new spokes.

Also fly-boy, your 14, and not many 14 year olds know how to build wheels. Infact a good many people dont know how to build wheels. I'm guessing you dont know how to build wheels ect. If i were you order your hubs through your LBS and get them to lace them on to your rim for you. They will probly end up giving you a discount Smile

Also if they are going onto stock STP rims, id save up and buy some new rims aswell.

You can get a pretty good custom of CRC ect. these days for a good price. What ever hub/rim you want and they will build them up for you aswell.

Please not the word many in my above post. I didnt say all, but the majourity dont. You just said you built your mates wheels ect. which means your one in a group of people...hence not many people our age can build wheels, but there are some people who do no how do to it Smile
