i just recieved word that Hope will be joining the straight pull crowd as well. Hello 1990.
Does the industry know something that we don't ?? I mean really.....Industry Nine should be flattered. Jeff, Industry Nine's sales manager commented:
Crazy huh?
Who knows where the inspiration for that came from? Essentially, that is a true Pulstar design, although Mavic did the same thing for years with the Classics Pro and Elite road wheels.
Maybe we helped open the worlds eyes back to straight-pull spokes.
People are going to love it when Hope coats those threads with spoke prep and then the spokes just twist in the hub flange during truing like all the Mavic wheels did.
In this case, square spoke heads would make a lot of sense.

personally, i do see an advantage to using the stiffer aluminum spokes like those of the mavic wheels and Industry Nine wheels, but stainless straightpull.......hhhmmmm. I don't really see any advantage what so ever. Could this be a bad move by the folks at Hope ??
