So, like many it seems, I decided that the best replacements wheels were a pair of Hope Hoops, specifically with a Crest rim, and for me, a red hub. However, every shop was, and still is, saying that Hope Hoops with crest (any colour hub) were out of stock. After a couple of months waiting, I e-mailed Hope to ask if anyone would ever be able to supply me with a set. Rutland Cycling advertise every colour with every rim, except Crest. Hope said 'no problem, Rutland can get you them'. So onto Rutland I go, who say, yep no problem. One phone call later and I have 10 days to wait, apparently. I had little hope! To my surprise and delight, 10 days later a delivery van pulls up outside with a set of Hope Hoops: Red hubs, crest rim! Crazy. If you don't ask, you don't get!
We've had them in stock for months, admittedly only in black though.
who are you? maybe my searches for a supplier didn't find you??
Beyond Mountain Bikes, we're in Surrey. We do show on the Hope website, but we're not a 'Tech Store' or whatever they call the premier dealers, so unless you phoned every shop in the country you probably wouldn't have found us!
Rutland will have been cheaper too I'll wager, so win win in the long run really!
I did mostly google searches, but never came up with you. Got the pair for £265. cheers!
