    "Pro 5 Hub is the only hub you will ever need". They told me that back in 2009 when I bought my Pro II. In fact it is still currently on the front of my SS.

    I like the upgraded seals.

    The improved POE.....while nice, not sure they are needed. Currently can't really tell the difference between the 44 of my Pro 4 vs. 108 of my I9.

    Blasphemy! We all know that the more POE you have, the cooler you are! :cool:

    I can't tell a difference between the Pro 2 and Pro 4 when riding, and that isn't a complaint. 2's are on my spare wheelset, 4's are on my current wheels.

    40'ish POE is fine for me. Anything more than that is just noise. I do plenty enough tech and I haven't noticed a difference on my higher POE hubs.

    I have 2 sets of Hope Pro 4 hubs. One set probably has 12000 miles on, while the other is just getting broken in at close to 2000. I like the noise and the sealing better than the DT Swiss, and I have never lacked for engagement.

    That said... If I build another set of wheels in the near future, that 5 will be at the top of the list. It's sexy. :inlove:
