hosay57 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 thanks guys! and oh I had no idea that it had a echo rim on it haha, cheers for pointing that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Looks pretty nice! You might find that a lighter set of forks and a set of bars with a nicer shape to them will make the bike ride even nicer. Also, where abouts in west yorkshire are you?

thinkdougie Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wonder how long it will last in that condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 If thats a deng rear freehub, you need to loose it ASAP. Other than that it's a nice build, i'd run a higher front end though - for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosay57 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 yeah iv'e been thinking of up grading the forks and bars to be honest. I would be running a higher front end but someone has cut the steerer tube pretty short so there's no room for any stackers underneath the stem unfortunatly. and I dunno about the rear hub, all I know is its a adamant one, its strange though cos i've never seen any others like it cos i'm used to mtb hubs. Oh and i'm from wakefield mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Get that adamant off there, get a profile on there. I have a Zoo hub (same hub, different writing) and it's utter shit, skips all the time and just doesn't respond well at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Get that adamant off there, get a profile on there. I have a Zoo hub (same hub, different writing) and it's utter shit, skips all the time and just doesn't respond well at all. Don't get a profile, nearly as bad. go ffw. Echo sl for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Don't get a profile, nearly as bad. go ffw. Echo sl for the win Its hit and miss with Profile hubs. Some can last an age, some die comparitively quickly. I agree though, for the under the cost of a decent freehub he can go ffw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
