Herr.Wolfkatze Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Alex HR 26 rims with Serfas Professional tyres, how exactly would I go about setting the V's up, and is it possible?I just measured the tyres and it was difficult to get it spot on but i'm going to say they're roughly 70mm wide? And slightly off the topic, does anyone know when I would use 32H hubs and when I would use 36H hubs? Because i'm shopping for these too, and my current bike has 36H but I found a nice set of Hope Pro 2's and they're 32H Edited June 2, 2009 by Herr.Wolfkatze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had both 32h and 36h hubs apart from being a bit stronger and heavier it doesn't matter i think, but normally its 32h street 36h downhill if i remember right other than that its up to you mate.

Simpson Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just out of interest, why on earth do you want 40mm wide echo rims on a specilised P3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just out of interest, why on earth do you want 40mm wide echo rims on a specilised P3?think its a street/trials build on the vee brake issue think the rim will be too wide i ran into a few issues with running a dx32 in a p3 when setting up for a friend best thing to do is to use a front rim as there narrower only other thing to do is run a disk on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problems with dx32's? Thats odd because if i recall rightly theyre 32mm wide and im currently rolling on 36mm with no issues at all. Thinking of it that way i could likely get away with the Echo SL rims as theyre only 2mm wider, with Avid single digit V brakes which have quite a chunky backing, and when i upgrade to XTR's which have a much slimmer backing it SHOULD work..?
