These custom, Swiss made bearings are double sealed, fully serviceable and removable which give a much greater life span than stock units. The bearings are made (as all Hope bearings are) by INA and have been designed to run directly on the crankset axle without using shims or spacers -again increasing life and reliability. Hope use a non-contact, free running labyrinth seal to protect the bearing externally, and the machined aluminium centre tube is sealed internally with o-rings. Standard 6 colours are available on cups - red, blue, silver, black, gold and gunmetal, with the centre tubes being black on the stainless and gunsmoke on the ceramic. Please Note: The 68/73mm width option is the universal type for both MTB and Road bikes, it is not the Hope Road Specific Series model. For the Road Specific model, choose the "Stainless Steel Road" option. Tech Tip: the 68/73mm width option is the most commonly used size for threaded road and mountain bike bottom bracket shells. The wider 83mm width is mainly seen on "downhill" (ie. long travel) mountain bikes. Please confirm the width of your bike frame's bottom bracket shell before ordering.
The Hope Spiderless Retainer Ring is a neat, lightweight direct mount retainer ring option for Hope's chainset.
The Hope Oval Spiderless Boost Retainer Ring is a neat, lightweight direct mount retainer ring option for your Hope chainset. This retainer ring features a narrow/wide tooth profile holds your chain tight and eliminates the possibility of the chain dropping when using a modern clutch rear derailleur. With an oval chainring, the power output is balanced and you will actually feel power being applied at all stages of the pedal rotation. The oval chainring design is effective because the rider does not produce an even power output with a normal circle chainring. When using a standard circle chainring, the power consistency is only relative when the rider’s feet are pushing downwards. Technologies: - Narrow/wide tooth profile designed to retain the chain without the need for a chain device. - Direct mount retainer ring designed specifically for Hope cranksets. - Saves weight without the need for a separate spider. - Able to run a broader range of smaller chainring sizes. - Quieter drivetrain and less drag. - Ultra-durable and increases longevity.

Developed over many years the Hope EVO spiderless crankset has been designed using the latest FEA (Finite Element Analysis) tools and extensive multi-discipline field testing. These cranks feature a unique expanding spline axle/arm interface (pat pending). This is a perfect choice of replacement for your old or worn-out existing model for a more lightweight and stiffer off-road performance than ever before.
This bottom bracket is the ultimate, serviceable, long-life upgrade for your frame/drivetrain when wanting to step away from the manufacturers standard BB.
The narrow/wide chainring is designed to retain the chain without the need of a chain device. The Spiderless Retainer Ring Boost will help to save weight without need for a separate spider and enable you to run a broader range of smaller chainring sizes.
