Another point you can only get a 13th freewheel on meaning you can't run the gearing 90% of mod riders run 18:12. I say it looks pretti crap for trials, strong, but its not what i can see anyone in the trials world running.Weights:Homer = 512g + freewheelProfile = 317gT master = 240g So basicly twice the weight of a T-master.

PaRtZ Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) This is all bmx talk btwA mate of mine had one on his pashley and it was realllly nice. Very smooth, very study. To build the wheel (i was told) was very easy because of the flange size. His only quibble was axle studs actual bolts instead of allen bolt such as profile hubs, CK hubs etcBack to trialsI don't think that the homer would be reliable for gapping, cos you're running a freewheel () having said that I've never tried it lol. My mates never skipped on bmx, but that was bmx Oh yeah it isn't that heavy. IN comparison to trials components it is, but even stillG sport spoke _pwn btw :D Edited February 14, 2006 by PaRtZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 You also have to used their spokes because the flanges are super fat. So you might not be able to get the right size ones you need for the wheel build with rear mod rims being smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 12t fixed sprockets screw onto the "microdrive" freewheel threads, so I don't get why people are saying you couldn't run 18:12?Either way, why bother? They're more expensive than - for example - a T-Master hub, and alright the bearings are better quality in them, but my T-Master hub's been running for 3 years now with no problems. Anyways, just run a "trials" hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Lee Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I run a vandal on the back of my bmx Why not have a look at a monkey, G-sport with helicoiled alloy axle. People run them with pegs and they're sound, shitloads lighter too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
