When trying to pedal sometimes I'm loosing about half a pedal stroke before before I can get any resistance and drive forward assume its rear free hub problem ? I run Hope Pro 2 rear hub could it be a problem with the paws engaging

Yup, definitely- luckily it's nice and easy to check, there's a wee bit more to it than this but it is basically pull the freehub off, have a gander.

pawls btw 🙂 Most likely the springs, but it might just be dirty- pro 2 sealing is pretty poor so crap can get into the ratchet ring and just clog it up.
