_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) hi everyone, I`m going to run singlespeed now and I`ve planned buying me a hub. So, is there anyone who has tried out this hub? Good or bad?You could recommend me some hubs too, if you`d like to Edited February 10, 2006 by _skj0lsvik_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) DMR hubs = the bizzle.....I had mine for just under a year..Theres nothing wrong with it now....Just wanted gears back on my bike......The bearings are still smoooth, the bolts are nice and strong aswell..no chance of rounding them puppies The dmr hub is a good buy, especially when paired with a ACS freewheel..or be a little more pimp and buy an eno CheersTom Edited February 10, 2006 by Tom Booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really light, and he has been riding it over a year with no problems! Paul makes some of the best componets!I actually run the White Industries Eno Eccentric hub, and love it. I had to grind my chainstays some to make them flat so the hub can grab, and it doesnt slip! I've been riding this hub for about a year as well. the bearings were buttery smooth at first, but now they dont feel so well, but hey! its trials, you dont need to have the smoothest bearings!we also both run the White Industries Trials freewheel, also my other friend rides the same wheel as me with the WI ENO freewheel Edited February 11, 2006 by CoppellStereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Go for the dmr one, my mate has been running one for a while now with a eno freewheel and it's been running sound, never had a problem with it at all, go for the dmr one if i was.Your choice.

CurtisRider Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 just to help show how good they are, bens friends revolver has had a few owners, charel, me, stevea and snowy, and its still going strong the bearings in them are fantastic, they build a dishless wheel and they are solid as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks for answers everyone, helped me.I really want the Paul hub, it soo nice. The Revolver is nice too, but not as nice as the Paul. But maybe I should buy me a BT hub : ) Theyre ultra nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant get the bolts to tight otherwise they round off, therefore wheel moves lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<PACE> Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 what about the echo hubs. extra wide flanges same as the one in the picture and you can get them in different colours to match your colour scheme.60pound from selectbikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I`ve heard only bad things about the new echo hubs ... So I`ll skip them : )Probably I`m gonna buy a try-all wheel: try-all 47mm rim laced to a try-all hub. Sounds good? I dont know, but is the locked try-all hubs good or what? Any rewiews?

_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 It stands between two hubs now .Either the:Surly hub http://www.cyclecomponents.com/cgi-bin/ak_...Std&Kampanj_ID=273gOr the Paul WORD hub http://www.cyclecomponents.com/cgi-bin/ak_...00&Sort=A.Beskr200gThe Surly one is 34 EUR cheaper.Which one should I choose?

Street Lee Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'd go for the Paul hub because it looks sexier and it's lighter. I seem to be turning into a bit of a weight whore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 the badstuff you herd was about the echo cassette. the regular ss hub is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoppellStereo Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 get the paul, my friends is working perfect after a year, and he has never adjusted it, and it is beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 The Paul WORD hub it is then ...But whats the most common gear ratio? Is 18:16 a good ratio, thats what I`ve been recommended : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Coppelstereo: Do your friend use a freewheel or a track cog on his Paul hub? I asked the shop and they said that I couldnt use a Surly Track Cog on it, only BMX freewheels : ( Is this correct?And does people use a lock-ring when they use a track-cog on the rear hub? I`m going to use a ffw.Cheers, Sondre Edited February 20, 2006 by _skj0lsvik_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
