onzajorge Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hey people. Just looking at a Echo TR rear wheel for Onza Pro. Tr is 116 hub and the Onza Pro has a 110 hub. Been told it is possible to make the wheel fir by removing snail cams? Is this right? Please give advise soon as ... need to fit wheel before sunday ahaa Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 My bro has the TR wheel on his blade with the same drop outs and yeh with out the snail cams it does fit. One problem we faced though is that because the TR hub body is quite wide you might find that the chain or sprocket will hit the drop outs. We solved this by using the Echo TR sprocket which has the teeth in the middle and the sprocket and it now clears nicley with a 18:12 gear ratio.

Ok thanks mate ... does sprocket come with the wheel or have to buy the TR sprocket seperate? Is it a pain to sort or just 20mins work? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 The sprocket's sold seperately. Depending on the sprocket you've got, you may be able to flip it over and use a thin spacer to keep it spaced away from the spoke heads so it'll end up in a TR-ish position.

I wouldn't do that from pure experience this could cost you a whole new hub. Did exactly what you suggested there Mark with a Alu (some sort of spare HollotechII spacer around 2.5mm) and sprocket managed to strip the threads on the hub in less than a days ride, I'm not a particularly heavy rider and I really wouldn't recommend doing it at all. Save yourself a new hub and wheelbuild by doing it properly. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Which hub and sprocket was that with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Which hub and sprocket was that with? Viz hub and Viz Sprocket, and I've seen the threads on a TR strip infront of me with all the threads used by the sprocket, I'm steering away from screw ons if I can now!

Steve I've only heard of this with certain hubs and freewheels, i think it was Eno's but never with a sprocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzajorge Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Well i got the TR and it fits perfect if you just turn the sprocket round so the spacer is on the outside. Cheers for the comments and advise but glad you was wrong to be honest ahaa. And as for the thread being stripped we'll have to wait and see. Cheers guys.
