CurtisRider Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 if you badly need a wheel, dont even think about gettin an echo cassette hub yet get a fixed rear with an eno front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Monty Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Get the echo rim and the viz hub and a eno 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) i have an acs and its working quite well and sounds nice but get an eno, best freewheel, 72 engagement points and a viz hub, they look wicked also a try all rim, very strong quality rim Edited January 16, 2006 by gawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aff1e Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 id get new echo rims on multany spokes with a profile as ive heard some bad stuff about echo cassete hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Just make sure your frame can handle a 46-48mm wide rim. I got an echo rim for my stock bike and its way too wide (I run a rim brake). I agree with the above, for the price of a new rear hub I would seriously consider a White Industries free wheel. I have found they skip about the same number of times as a normal rear hub (chris king), but they are less catastrophic, smaller more managable skips.Dallas Edited January 16, 2006 by Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerboysam1 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 id get new echo rims on multany spokes with a profile as ive heard some bad stuff about echo cassete hubs Thats what i've got, but without the profile! I was going to get the profile but it isn't compatible with the echo rims. So I just got the echo fixed rear and it is brilliant!! deffo recommend it Hope I Helped,Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 i'd say either a profile on a onza hog with black muntiny (sp..?) spokes ora echo fixed/viz fixed hub on a onza hog or echo with an eno can't go wrong with either of those, also arn't the echo cassettes delayed for around three months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
