Hi all,
Is anyone else still waiting for hope pro 2 hubs to come into crc. I ordered my new wheels nearly 2 months ago now and all i am waiting for is the hubs to come into stock grrr. I was just wondering if anyone else was in the same position or has been?
Cheers

It's like the old joke isn't it ?

"Well ours are that price too when we haven't got any......"

Not sure what's taking them so long, we've had hubs through from Hope regularly so can't see supply being an issue.Have you contacted them to check they haven't misplaced your order?

AFAIK - Hope only supply when the retailer pays.

Supply can't be the issue as we've had loads of Hope stuff through too...including Pro 2 hubs and wheels.

That great price doesn't mean jack if you never got them!!!!!!

I have emailed them several times (every couple of weeks or so). They just say that they aren't getting them from their suppliers but if you guys are saying that you are getting them in that makes no sense to me. They do seem to have a few colours in but i am really looking for red 36h ones and the dont eve seem to have a due in date. I think will email them again and if no luck in the next week or so I will see if I can order from elsewhere.
Cheers lads

Right I have now cancelled my order after sending a bit of an angry email to crc and am waiting for merlin to put black ex721 onto their custom rear wheel list. Then I will be ordering from them.

I have looked around yeah. Found merlin to be able to give me the best price after crc. Local bike shops were a bit off their prices.

You can hardly be angry with CRC if they aren't able to get stock from Hope, they are just a retailer at the end of the day. Hope have moved to larger premises in the past few months which I am sure has delayed their production output.

Yeah I ain't exactly angry with them it is just that I have been generally getting frustrated that I could no longer ride. But i also couldn't understand why other places had them in stock when crc didn't. It just didn't make it sence but should have them in the next weeks or so, once merlin have their website sorted. 🙂
