ogre Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 would using a dmr revolver rear hub with a good quality freewheel be a good ideayes can get more EPs than a king for much less money and the engagements are faster on the rear than with a ffw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 yes can get more EPs than a king for much less money and the engagements are faster on the rear than with a ffw ah so i should get super fast pick up then. I mean what does a king cost 300quid upwards? A revolver would cost me 70 quid and 50-60 for a freewheel. I wouldnt run a freewheel up front cuz i dont want my jeans mangled!

Luke Rainbird Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Somebody was selling one for £70 recently - I think it may have been Nathan Roach, though I'm not 100% on that and it may have gone already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mammoth is a bit heavy and a bit narrow but they are pretty strong. They have really high sidewalls and will work well with a rim brake . I ran them for a couple of years on my GT Backwoods 26" back in 99 or so. They're also kind of strange in that they use a weird plastic strip around the rim for some reason.Actual Mammoth rim:Edit: I think the BFR's are the same as the Mammoths but without the 'composite strip': Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMX hub wise Profile are one of the best but because engagements are less important virtually anything will work fine i.e. Odyssey Hazard or any other reasonable brand cassette hub .
