isitafox Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Anyone use or used them? Just wondering as I'll be ordering my front and rear wheel builds tomorrow and as I want a fixed 6 speed rear I'll have to go with the onza anyway but I don't know whether to have a matching onza on the front or go for an Echo TR?? Opinions?? Edited January 3, 2010 by isitafox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 assuming your buying the sealed bearing hub your onto a winner, there not bad hubs especially for the price if you could find the extra money this hub would be alot better hope hubs last forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Echo TR definitely excellent hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Might have to be the onza now as I've dug my rear maggy out of the garage from when I cleaned it up an the aluminium's gone all cruddy an horrible, so something else to add to the build list now!

isitafox Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Right need more recomendations now for the rims, lookin at using either echo urbans or TR's depending on what will fit. Gotta nip down ma dads after work an have a measure up but was wondering; If I can fit an urban on the rear should I go for that or the smaller TR? Whats the main difference between the 2 as they're priced the same? Could I use a 37mm TR on the rear if I can't get a 40mm in as I used to ride with 30 odd mm Sunn BFR's?

jakejp94@hotmail.co.uk Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 yeah Echo tr definatly,Iam ordering a echo tr backwheel this morning,and is saving me tones of money rather than building 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not lookin good at the mo, checked my old maggys last night and they're lookin knackered so had to order a new one for the back so will have to wait till that comes before I can measure a gap for the rear rim. Prob gonna have to shave a bit off the brake blocks to squeeze a 40mm in but will have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 What frame do you have? Got an old Heavy Tools Trials frame. Got it when I was bout 18 (a long time ago now) but stopped riding shortly after so is in mint condition so not worth replacing. Same as this frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as this frame ah ok, just wondered because with most frames now a days a 40mm should be fine, but with an olschool frame like that it might not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've got a brand new drilled Alex DX32 rim for sale in my topic: For sale topic They are not too wide at 38mm and fairly light, i've been running one on the rear and now its currently on the front of my bike for a total of 18months and its been solid, been through several wheel builds and had no issues with it. Found that they held a grind really well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
