max-t Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Why is that? Can't they cope with the stress of trials?Exactly right.Get a Pro II lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Pro 2 *** !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yeah the pro 2 is seriously the best hub on the market today.The Chris King is also really nice, and u can get it in the colour you want but their very expensive.But dont get the deng freehubs, they are crap. It feels got for like 2 rides then they start skipping all the time and you have to tighten then like ten times a month.Pro II is the best option there is though, and people will forgive the non stylistic colour.

matt middler Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 It would deffinately have to be the pro II hub unless you have plenty of money going spare, then you might think about a Chris King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yeah front freewheel is cool but if i got a new drivetrain i would go back to a freehub. Its more reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
