Daniel C Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 king hubs and try-all rims is the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_top Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'll go for a DT Swiss 240's Disc Front Hub. It's better than CK! http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=8194 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 front wheel i would say pro2 or bt hub,with either try-all rim or if your a basher a sun single wide. as for the rear it all depends if you are running a front free wheel.

hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 hope pro2 are popular, and id say tryall rim. ive got 47mm and its great.though echo rims are also popular and have high reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 ProII or King hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 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.

FAR Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 you know level of my trial is't so high, but my rear rim has many blows... i have echo, and i'm satisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 If money's no object, get kings.Just look after the rear, and service it regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 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!Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Pro2And a badly self-drilled dx32.THE only way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Was this on a trials bike ? Any more information ? Never heard of the hadleys being run on trials bikes ?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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
