Undecided on hope crank arms ??‍♂️

[Ripping g]

Look at hope crank arms carnt choose between blue or black opinions welcome

Well you have gone all in so far with the blue! Depends if you want a subtle look or a lairy one. My view is colourful components go with a colourful frame, with yours being a subtle colour way it might tip it over the edge . . .

I always think Braytons bike from the 2018 Worlds is the gold standard for going full Hope crazy (he is sponsored but them after all), but his frame isn't subtle either!

Neither. I mean they look lovely and all but there are so many reports of them being an utter ball ache to install. Just can't see the point, stick with Shimano

That said guess ebike fitment is different so might not be an issue

There shorter arms less pedal strikes so they recon

It's just an 8mm allen key, self extracting. Couldn't be more easier ?

 

[davosaurusrex]

Yeah, I was thinking of the standard axle type. They look good, albeit pricey but when has that ever stopped us? Fill your boots!

 

[davosaurusrex]

And the correct answer is of course black with a blue chainring! And maybe a gold chain.....

 

[2wheeledwalbert]

Yeah they're pricey. Although I got them half price, the shop/website fucked up....bargain

Ye carnt get m for less than 175 now ??‍

 

[Ripping g]

Sorted

 

[Pyr0]

They're the exact ones I want too
Are they £100 better than miranda cranks though
Do hope ever have sales? lol

 

[R120]

I have Mirandas on my Vitus (shimano motor) and they are definitely pretty budget, decent enough but no where near Hope in terms of quality

As the saying goes you get what you pay for on the plus side if i need to sell them theres a
Good return when used ??

At the time I go the Mirandas they where the only option on the market for shorter cranks, but now there's a lot more choice

I'm finding my hope drive side crank keeps coming loose. Pretty much after one run I need to tighten the bolt, no play though.
I've just locktited it to see if that will help.
It was originally installed by a bikeshop. They should be 50nm, my torque wrench doesn't go that high and I'm reluctant to lean on it as I've sheared one of these bolts before on another bike.
Anyone else have crank issues?

Had mine 10 months and never an issue, never used a torque wrench either. Just a long ish 8mm allen key and nipped her up

I've preordered a 155mm set in black..
Is anybody using crank boots or other protection on their hope arms?
Any recommendations?
