Product Information
Full details
The Hope Freehub Springs (Pack of 4) are designed for riders and mechanics maintaining Hope Pro2, Pro2 Evo, and Pro3 hub systems. These springs provide the necessary tension for pawls to engage correctly, ensuring reliable power transfer and consistent hub performance. While they are a critical component for smooth operation, they require precision during installation and should always be replaced in conjunction with new pawls to ensure the integrity of the freehub assembly.

FAQs
Are these springs compatible with Hope Pro4 hubs?
No, these springs are specifically designed for Pro2, Pro2 Evo, and Pro3 models. Pro4 hubs use a different spring configuration.
How often should I replace my freehub springs?
It is recommended to replace them whenever you replace your pawls, typically during an annual hub service or if you notice engagement issues.
Do I need special tools to install these?
No special tools are required for the springs themselves, but you may need standard workshop tools to remove the freehub body from the hub shell.
What type of lubricant should I use?
Use a light, thin lubricant designed for freehub mechanisms. Avoid heavy bicycle grease which can make the pawls stick.
Will a pack of 4 cover my whole hub?
Yes, this pack contains 4 springs, which is the total amount required for one Hope Pro2/Pro3 freehub unit.
Troubleshooting
Freehub is skipping or failing to engage
The springs may be worn or clogged with debris. Replace the springs and pawls, and clean the hub internals.
Pawls keep popping out during assembly
Apply a small amount of light grease to the pawl pivot point to hold the spring in place while sliding the freehub body back onto the axle.
Freehub feels 'draggy' or slow
Too much thick grease was used. Clean the mechanism thoroughly and apply a light freehub oil or thin, non-sticky lubricant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures reliable freehub engagement
- Restores crisp hub sound and performance
- Tailored specifically for Hope hub internals
- Cost-effective maintenance solution

- Requires careful installation to avoid bending
- Not compatible with Pro4 or newer hub models

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the freehub body from your Hope hub, carefully clear out old grease, and replace the pawls and springs as a set. Use a light, thin grease or dedicated pawl oil to keep the mechanism moving freely. Never use heavy, viscous grease, as this can cause the pawls to stick in the retracted position and fail to engage. These springs are compatible strictly with Hope Pro2, Pro2 Evo, and Pro3 hubs. During storage or cleaning, avoid using high-pressure water near the freehub seals to prevent debris and moisture from compromising the spring tension.
