FAQs

What is the rim width of the Hope Fortus 30W?

The rim features a 30mm internal width and a 35mm external width.

Can I run these wheels with 2.8-inch tires?

Yes, the rim is optimized for tires ranging from 2.4 to 2.8 inches in width.

What kind of brake rotor is compatible?

This specific variant uses a 6-bolt rotor mount standard.

Is this wheel compatible with Shimano cassettes?

No, this version is equipped with a SRAM XD driver body. You would need a different variant or a hub body swap for other standards.

How often should I service the Pro 5 hub?

Hope recommends checking the hub internals at least once a year, or more frequently if you ride in very wet or muddy conditions.

Does this wheel come with a thru-axle included?

No, this product is the wheel only; you must use the thru-axle provided by your bike frame.

Troubleshooting

Increased drag or sluggish hub rotation

Clean and re-grease the internal hub seals and check for excessive bearing tension.

Occasional skipping under high power

Inspect the 6-pawl engagement mechanism for debris or old grease; clean and lubricate with light freehub oil.

Tubeless tire losing pressure

Check the condition of the rim tape and ensure the valve stem is tightened securely against the rim bed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed power transfer with 108 points of engagement
  • Excellent durability from the welded 6061 T6 aluminium construction
  • Improved hub sealing system for reduced drag and better weather protection
  • Optimized for modern wide-profile trail and enduro tires
  • Fully serviceable design ensures long product lifespan

Cons

  • Specific to 148x12mm Boost spacing, limiting frame compatibility
  • Heavier than carbon alternatives due to robust alloy construction
  • Requires professional tools for certain hub maintenance tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This wheel is designed for 29er frames requiring a 148x12mm Boost thru-axle standard and features a 6-bolt rotor mount with a SRAM XD driver body.

  1. Installation: Ensure the hub end caps are correctly seated for your frame's dropout system.
  2. Tire Setup: Use high-quality tubeless rim tape and sealant to capitalize on the tubeless-ready profile.
  3. Hub Maintenance: Periodically inspect the freehub body and pawls; although the sealing is excellent, annual cleaning and re-lubrication of the internal mechanism are recommended to maintain the crisp engagement sound and performance.
  4. Cleaning: Avoid high-pressure washers directed at the hub bearings to ensure the internal seals remain effective.
