Their marketing material definitely reads, to me, that they’re forging arms in house.
I’ve not seen a ton of cracked hubshells or flanges from any brand. Mostly DT but their are tons of their hubs OE so that makes sense. But, Hope hubs are fairly common locally and I’ve seen a couple or few cracked. Interesting all the same.
Designing around CINCH or SRAM is/was the way to go. They may have had some inside knowledge about SRAM changing their cranks to 8-Bolt that influenced that choice? Either way CINCH looks like the winning choice Vs. SRAM 3-bolt now. Either way, a very rider friendly choice.
