Build Me A Wheel

[trials ryan]

Hi i am basicly looking to buy a new backwheel and i really want a profile hub on it that is the main priority i have a bird standard cranks and could you include a loud freewheel and also i think i made need new cranks.

Looking to spend about £200 - £250

Note: If you struggle to keep the price in with a profile go for an echo please.

Thanks Ryan

Umm, I'd say this is buying.

Erm no, it sounds like he doesn't really know what spec will be best for a wheel, so he is asking the forum to tell him which spec he should get his wheel built to.

I would say a Echo rim with a profile hub if you want a rear free hub, if not I would get a front free wheel set up.

With a front freewheel set up you would have to get new cranks, but the Free hub you wouldn't.

A viz fixed rear hub would be the best rear fixed hub for the price With a echo rim would be around £95 for a complete wheel plus the £35 for freewheel and £50 for cranks. It totals £180 for all of it.

The profile Hub it's self is £160 new but you can pick them up for about £120 second hand which is built on a rim.

My choice would be a profile but that's just me

In all honnesty.....front freewheel is your best bet with a price range of 200.

With that you can get your self a nice rear wheel echo/tryall/ with a decent rear hub ie Trial tech and a 12 tooth cog...

and a 18 tooth tensile freewheel

Jobs a good un

Yeah like dave said, Freewheel is your best bet on a budget of £200.

If you need new cranks you cant go wrong with echo forged or the trialtech cranks, Tensile freewheel will last ages. Echo rim is strong buy very heavy. Might be worth looking at try-all or trialtech, Bearing in mind they dont grind aswell as echo rims.

yeah i was thinking of a trialstech drilled rim are they any good?

trialtech undrilled rim, profile hub, you can keep your current cranks, and run a different sprocket on the profile to suite the large chainring up front (smaller than 18t ideally)
