NVWOCI WVS Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Are you incapable of making decisions? You seem to ask the forum to make every single decision regarding your bike for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 If you have the money. Get a new rim and hub. Echo hubs are good (so many people say) it the bearing are shot, just get another hub. Echo rims are VERY good, bit heavy though. Kris Holmes? Regarding hubs. I had an Echo 2005 rear fixed hub, fit and forgot about it. Echo 2007 hubs would probably be the same...If your loaded. Profile or ChrisKing BMX hub. Or Hope Pro II and mod it!!!

Muel Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Replace the bearings and spokes, and send the rest of your spare money to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 No, not at-all! I was only joking, it just seems that you make a lot of new topics asking for advice on making decisions! If you're happy building wheels, keep your rim and then you can spend more on abetter quality hub.I'd recomend the tryall rear fixed hub, my girlfriend uses one and it seems pretty stiff. The bearings are good too! The new ones look really nice, but I'm not sure whether I'd trust the flanges!I'd also recomend buying new spokes. Re-using spokes is never a good move (especially if they're already starting to snap!)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Any Deng up, and Deng rim, Mutiny spokes, when it comes to things like hubs and rims on mods dont bother looking else where, the Echo stuff does the job superby for a deece price, so no complaints from me.... depends how much spare dollar you have though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
