What Wheel Build Should I Choose?

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.

id get new echo rims on multany spokes with a profile as ive heard some bad stuff about echo cassete hubs (N)

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!! (Y)(Y)(Y)(Y) deffo recommend it :)

Hope I Helped,

i'd say either a profile on a onza hog with black muntiny (sp..?) spokes or

a echo fixed/viz fixed hub on a onza hog or echo with an eno (Y)

can't go wrong with either of those, also arn't the echo cassettes delayed for around three months

i have an acs and its working quite well and sounds nice but get an eno, best freewheel, 72 engagement points (Y) and a viz hub, they look wicked :D also a try all rim, very strong quality rim

Well there was only a few echo hubs out there 2 witch were damons and travs and the other 2 been Craig’s and neils so you cant exactly say you have heard bad things as the only one witch broke was damons and it was due to the fact of the engineering and material also the pawl and spring design was abit on and off so they were been re-designed ill try and find the post.

As for a wheel if you’re in a rush id get a profile on a hog or a koxx if not wait for the echo hub and get it on an echo rim
