sstein Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 You have 135mm spacing yes? What I would say is the echo is good but it is often worth going better. Do you want to run gears, if not I would say screw hubs are the way forward. Have a look at the viz screw on hub here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've got the 6spd echo hub...and it works fine for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I would go for the trialtech fixed hub if i was you, excellent quality at a reasonable price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staphan Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) What am I missing about front freewheels? Because I can't see how it would work with a front freewheel and a fixed rear cog... What's on the rear hub?

eskimo Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think you would still snap an Echo axle. Did you over tighten the hub? Repair the Revolver and stick a 15t sprocket on there. It'll fit if it's threaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
