LukasMcNeal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Need to be more specific! Disc hubs? Double/Single wall? Freehub/fixed hub? Price range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-mac Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Need to be more specific! Disc hubs? Double/Single wall? Freehub/fixed hub? Price range? ohh yeah sorry!! currently running non disc rockman hubs, rear one is fixed with single wall trialtech sl rims. looking for best of both worlds. strenth and liteness. price range £300 for the pair. looked at the echo sl hubs and sl rims but the rear rim is only 44mm wide compared to the 47mm width of the trialtech so prob be looking down the lines of sticking to 47mm rear. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multi tasking male Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 are you running ffw ? if not then i would go for pro 2s on echo sl's, good choice of colour and will be prety industuctible the only issue might be weight. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 You pretty much have an awesome back wheel at the moment, there's not really any need to change it... EDIT: Make that pair of wheels. Adam built those up, and Adam's builds are pretty much the best you can really get. Those rims are super nice, and the hubs are really good too. You won't really get a better strength to weight ratio from anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I sort of meant that you won't really need any spare wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I sort of meant that you won't really need any spare wheels... my thoughts exactly.... if som,ething does break then just fix it, theres no point trying to pre-empt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
