Brilliant mate thanks for the video very very helpful. Just bought a crankset with the spider attatched ( from Ebay virtually new ) may just take it off with the tool and get an oval chain ring. Question: im running a 32t chainring ( racecace yes with the horrible llasticky bearing preload adjuster) now do i go for a 30T as its oval or still with a 32T obviously for clearance? Cheers Jon
It appears you’re not using the Hope 30mm bottom bracket, can you confirm which bottom bracket you’re using thanks and is the compatibility ok with these cranks?
Really nice bike, I can’t wait to get mine built and also getting my Evo cranks soon, your video is so helpful and this is perfect, Appreciate your kind effort in putting this video 🙂
Great vid Jed, I have never used an oval chainring.. you recommend? Also, did you/would you always replace chain and casette when replacing crankset/chainring? Cheers mate
I personally like ovals I'd recommend people consider trying one to see how they like it, I always like to use a fresh chain but the cassette can normally be left unless it's too worn out
Hey Jed. Your review was awesome and in time. I’m going to order from cyclestore the same ones for me. Does your chainring is the boost one? Unfortunately I can’t seem to verify if it’s the boost one or not from cyclestore. Thanks
Hi, yes I have the boost chainring, cyclestore only have the non boost listed on the site but if you contact them, they can supply the boost ones. Thanks
Cheers for the vid! I have a new Hope Evo crankset but got the one with the wrong axel length. I’ve ordered a shorter axel. Buy now I’m confused how the axel is supposed to come off / what tools I need. It says ’do not remove’ on the non drive side arm and has a 10 tooth nut opening. Any idea??
You will need to use the AM crank installation tool (Not supplied with the Evo) to remove the axle from the NDS arm of the Evo crank. A press is required to do this. The part code for the tool is HTT191
So can I only use the Hope spiderless chainrings--or can I use other brands (wolftooth) direct mount chainrings..? If so, would it be the CINCH version or the SRAM version..? How are these cranks holdin up on you? Better than shimano saints? haha--thanks! Love your vids--more please
You can use other brands but you'll need to get one with a hope mount, I'm using a oneup components ring at the moment, superstar components also do one, they are holding up really well on par with the saints they just feel a bit stiffer due to the thicker axle, I appreciate the kind words :)
I have the brand new eco cranks but when I tighten the screw, there seems to be a lot of resistance and the cranks won’t spin so I put a washer between the crank and the BB but it still won’t spin really freely and am scared to over tighten the cranks
Should be fairly easy to tighten, might be worth trying to screw it together off the bike to check it’s not cross threading or catching on something, does the non-drive side spin freely before you attach the drive side?
@@jedmtb yeah I’ve just tried to put a washer between the non drive side crank and BB and put plenty of grease to keep it running but I guess it has to wear a little before it spins very freely
Hi,I’ve got Trek slash 9.8 29 2017.BB is PF92,my question is what size of Hope cranks do I need buy? And also do I need to replace the Stock BB? Thank you
Hi John, you'll need to replace your BB with a 30mm axle compable one, a number of company's do them including Hope, they are sometimes called a Press fit 41 and you'll want the 68-73mm version of the crank.
I saw the same thing ! Haha. I put these on before a very rowdy endurance race and couldn't figure out what was wrong and night before buddy noticed I clocked them wrong. Thank God!! Would have beed a very long day
thanks for sharing, definitely a crank set to check out, I am currently using Turbine & Atlas with Cane Creek preloader, I like the stiffness of Altas cranks, but Turbine is nice too not as stiff but stiff enough and light, but for hard riding I prefer stiff crank, but I need a new frame with longer reach, and need to get some other parts, rest I will swap over, need a new bike soon. I look forward to hearing more about these cranks, but So far Race Face cranks has been doing well for me, with the upgrade,but need proper BB and bike to have them in, my old xc bike has Chris King headset and Turbine cranks, just had to fix it, easier than getting new bike, but cus my bike is too short and too troublesome I need new bike, So far Nicolai looks interesting.
@@Pepin-LB 52mm for boost but here is a chart with all the axle lengths and chainlines www.hopetech.com/_repository/1/documents/hope_Chainline_and_Clearance_Chart_EVO.pdf
2:44 that's why I upgraded to Cane Creek preloaded collar, much better huge difference. MY written review: wp.me/p60aTF-2BQ I went for race face back then cus of the unfriendly assembly, but the preloader on Race Face cranks always annoyed me, it was spinning horribly, and bolt worn out fast, also bolt did not stay in well.
Fantastic video! No fluff and everything you need to know about these. Simply perfect!
Thanks William 👍

Excellent little video. I have the non-evo cranks which are bombproof but an over engineered nightmare! I think I might need to change to evo’s!
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you. Hope products always look SO quality!

Hi Great video , what nm you doing when fitting ring to crank and also when fitting the cranks
Both at 50nm, tho I normally just do the chainring by feel.
Thank You for the video First time I install Hope Evo Crankset🌹🌹

Hi, yes I have the boost chainring, cyclestore only have the non boost listed on the site but if you contact them, they can supply the boost ones. Thanks
Crank is for both spacings. It's your chainring made for boost or none boost. 6mm none boost or 3mm boost
Then you have spacers with BB
Easy peasy

Great review thank you very much! May I ask what's the difference or point of spiderless vs spider crank arm apart from the obvious difference?
Thanks, they are lighter, stronger, use less parts and avoid uneven chain tension from loose chainring bolts.
Nice video, looking at getting these. I must have watched a video of an old pair being fitted, looked a right faf. These look so much better
Yes the non EVO version was a right pain.
Wish id have known about crank boots when my evos were fresh 😄

Jed MTB thank you so much 🤙
Did you line the cranks up properly afterwards? Lol
Yes 😳🤣

Thanks for good review. This crankset will be used on my new bike

The Nicolai Geometron looks really interesting.
How are these cranks holdin up for you brotha?
Other than a few scratches from rocks they look like new and have run smoothly without any issues.
hi, I've got a 2019 specialized stumpjumper comp evo alloy 29er, what size hope cranks do I need to buy? and do I need to replace the stock bb?
Looking at the specs of your stumpy, you'll need the 170mm 68/73mm crank and the stock BB will need replacing for a 68/73mm 30mm BSA threaded one.
Jed MTB thanks dude!
Jed MTB do you know if Hope do one?
@@samradford123 Yes they do www.hopetech.com/products/drivetrain/bottom-bracket/bottom-bracket-30mm-threaded/
Jed MTB cheers!
what s the chainline of it ?
@@Pepin-LB 52mm for boost but here is a chart with all the axle lengths and chainlines www.hopetech.com/_repository/1/documents/hope_Chainline_and_Clearance_Chart_EVO.pdf
What crankarm boot covers did you use?
I use the Race Face alloy crank boots.
Was that 60 newton meter?
It was 50nm
@@jedmtb Then I used 150 nm...
Can you run hope retainer ring with a race face crankset ?
No unfortunately not the Hope rings only work with Hope cranks, unless your cranks use the older 4 bolt chainrings.
2:44 that's why I upgraded to Cane Creek preloaded collar, much better huge difference.
MY written review: wp.me/p60aTF-2BQ
I went for race face back then cus of the unfriendly assembly, but the preloader on Race Face cranks always annoyed me, it was spinning horribly, and bolt worn out fast, also bolt did not stay in well.
Raceface actually use nylon not plastic
My driver side is closer to chain stay than none DS
How many spacers are you using on your bb?
@@jedmtb one nice is 73mm. It's off by about 1mm. I already ordered 1mm spacer. Hope it helps
HOPE you have lots of money.
