bing Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) I run a profile mini cassette on a trialtech rim on the back of my onza blade, was out bedding in my shiny new heatsink pads. got onto of the box down the local skatepark, and went to kick off but thought my brake was slipping. tried again, Same result. then I did a track stand with both brakes on, and the pedals spun quite easily. thought I'd done the pawls and springs, but upon stripping down it appears the driver ring that is pressed into the hub shell has spun round. so now I need a new wheel build. am gonna go ffw as well. am thinking new onza pro hub, pro diamond rim and tensile 60 click freewheel as cash is a bit short. might go rear disk as well. all this the night before I'm supposed to go pick Dave barratt up and drive to hook woods for Sundays comp. f**ked off is an understatement. luckily dezmtber has lent me his rockman Austin bike, but swapped the front ends over as we run the same forks and headset, just mine has a longer steerer and higher bars and stem. there is some kindness left in this world after all. of it weren't for him, I wouldn't be riding Sunday. many big props to him Edited September 14, 2012 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Could you not just get a new sealed hub and spokes and ask a really genourous friend to build it up for you? Could even get a disk hub so if you decide, just 'with money being tight' it might be a cheaper option. Also there is still some kindness left in the world. People are being very gay with me recently but it always seems that TF is nice to me, I guess. Good luck @ the comp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Get a trialtech hub, echo TR rim and use the saved up money for an echo SL, will appreciate it more, and the echo rims are bombproof, hold a grind for aggeees and my trialtech hub is spot on. winwin.

bing Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 might seem a bit like arse licking, but I can't remember the last time someone was this nice to me. random acts of kindness do exist. the downside is now if I ride really well I'm gonna want a rockman Austin frame and rear disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
