My local bike shop only sells the pawls and springs as a set .. and its only the springs I need.
Can anybody tell me where I can buy just the springs for a hope pro2 cassette.
Much thanks.

They are available seperate from the pawls, we've got a bag of them in our workshop. Unfortunately, they're not really viable cost-wise to send out on their own by mail order/ credit card.
Ask HOPE at any event (if your entered) i've had a couple of sets in the past for free
Just had the same thing, needed some springs by themselves. Emailed hope directly on the service email (on their website) and got a prompt reply saying they're sending me out a new set for free!
Some under my fridge. A cut up biro spring in my free hub 🙂
small zip ties cut to fit. Lasting far far longer in my proII rear than Hopes metal springs.
Paid £16 for a set of pawls and springs once, then went to zip ties. Every time I strip the hub down at least 2 of the metal springs were broken, zip ties are holding up nicely so far 😀
I used Bikestore too. Excellent service and i've have bought few other things from them since.
As for the springs, they seem alot tougher & stronger than the old ones they replaced.
I've broken pawls too, just buy the set and keep them safe.
Thanks fellas. Another example why STW is the top site in this genre.
The pawls are in mint condition. So I dont really see the logic of paying £15 for 4 tiny slithers of metal/springs and just keeping more stuff in the bike box that`ll prob never get used ... it is the springs that snap not the pawls after all.
Anyways. I will try AndyPaice zip-tie method before ordering .. worth a try atleast.
And thanks again all.
thread resurection!!
How does the zipetie method work?
soreted it - 4 ziptes and hub feels ace
Any pictures/info on the ziptie method?
no its back together sorry
Essentially use small zipties with the tie end in the hole where the spring goes (round end) and cut em to about 7mm long
