Aaron.Tottman Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 At the moment I've been riding ona Hope Bulb rear for about three years and had to replace the rachet 12 times and it's starting to get me down!Every time I get confident trying new gaps 'click.....crunch' there goes my rachet teeth.Now i'm in two minds wether to go for say tensile freewheel and fixed rear wheel or save and get a crissking hub!!!HELP PLEASE. p.s. 1060 over 1080. i'm 6footish and riding my mates koXx levelboss (1065) over my echo HiFi (1085) and can't make up my mind. i ride mostly street!!! any opinion welcome!!!

Skoze Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'd recommend either a hope pro2 trials rear hub, or a chris king (full heavy duty )And in my opinion, a shorter frame will be better for street More 'chuckable' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 id personally go for a tensile FFw and a fairly long ( 1080-1090 ) frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsy trials matt Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 zoo pitball would be a good frame for your height, also free hub or freewheel does'nt matter as it's up to you and what your more confident with, i.e benito ross amazing rider uses a freewheel so if he can use on why cant you?

Skoze Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 why?????????I second that.He rides street, so surely a shorter frame would be far better?Feel free to explain your reasoning about the ffw too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
