Echo rims are the way forward and until i replaced mine my fixed echo hub was amazing no complaints..... I had to go for a cheap 6 speed fixed onza one :( but fortunately it is actually really nice :) Anyway tray-all or Echo rim with either a deng fixed hub, or hope pro to freehub. (Y)

If your a basher an echo rim would be the best option for the back while a try-all will be fine for the front as the front wheel will not be getting bashed around as much. As for hubs, the hope pro II is a very good and popular freehub, for the front the deng hub should be fine, but if you have the money I would suggest front and back King hubs as they rule and are superier to all other hubs :P :P

Off topic, but no one on here use Hadleys? I've run them for years and after having King hubs the hadleys are miles better, way less servicing and also cheaper, not by much granted. 72 engagements and you can get a 10mm bolt through.

Back on topic, if money is more of a problem, tartybikes have loads of rear hubs half price at the minute!

Yep. I've run them on my DH bikes for years now. I think its a misconception that they are XC hubs, companies like Foes spec them as part of their DH frames as they are immense. The one I have on my trials bike at the moment I've owned for about 5 years, its been raced all over the UK and in france, then recently stook it on my trials bike after buying a 10mm bolt through axle for it.

The only issue they had was when they started making the 116pt engagement ones, they just couldnt make the engagements strong enough, so they recalled them all and stopped production. Like I said anyway, amazing hubs :D
