Charlie Jennings Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hey.I need to get a new wheel and have been looking at the Echo '07 Rim and thinking about lacing it to a Echo Fixed hub and grinding it. I'm looking for a wheel build around the £140 mark (including Build, Spokes, Grind). what would you get if you were in my shoes?. I want my hub to last more than a couple of months like my last one Help is much appriciated.CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Id do that , or get a profile hub instead of the freewheel and the echo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsychem Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) I think that you should get a pair of heatsink snowys and not get a rim grind. this will make your wheel last longer and you will have a perfect bite.Hub wise, you should sell everything you own (apart from your bike) and buy a king BMX hub!!

Captain Scarlet Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 what would you get if you were in my shoes?. CJI'd buy a cheaper full built wheel if I was in your shoes, or re-use your old rim.Whats the point in buying an expensive wheel if your not going to go too big, you could spend that money on trials DVD's to learn some good techniques.
