Hope Pro 2 / Pro 3 / Pro EVO Pawl and Spring Set

You likely need a replacement if you notice slipping under load, inconsistent engagement when you start pedaling, or a dull, quiet sound instead of the crisp click Hope hubs are known for. If you open your hub and the pawls look rounded or the springs have lost their tension, it is time for a refresh.

No, this specific kit is designed exclusively for the older Pro 2, Pro 3, and Pro 2 EVO hub models. The pawl and spring geometry for the Pro 4 and Pro 5 hubs is different and will not fit.

Generally, you do not need specialized tools to replace the pawls and springs, as they are accessible once you remove the freehub body. However, having a small pick or a thin flathead screwdriver is helpful for seating the springs correctly without bending them.

Hope recommends using a light, dedicated pawl oil or a very thin grease for these components. Avoid thick, heavy greases, as they can cause the pawls to stick and fail to engage properly, especially in colder weather.

This kit is intended only for the rear hub, as the front hub does not use a pawl-and-spring engagement system. The four pawls and springs provided are exactly what you need to service one rear Hope Pro 2, Pro 3, or Pro 2 EVO hub.
