cai Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Gay, my Echo 08 hub is perfect and so is Nathens GU hub. God knows what happened to yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze_ Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah same thing happened to my Echo hub. It's just that Deng doesn't put some great bearings and they break faster than normal bearings. Just change them it is easy and the bearings are standard(unlike the Chris King ones for instance). Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_top Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Weird. 06 ECHO hubs' bearings were bad. Then in 07 Deng began to use Japan bearings and it worked. Can't imagine why this happened to yours. Edited May 31, 2008 by brick_top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley-Wood Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 anyone know if that is the right kind of bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 anyone know if that is the right kind of bearings? You just need to read the number off the shield of the current bearing... To quote TartyBikes: "To check if this will fit your hub, simply check the bearing code. If it is 6000 then this will fit perfectly!"
