roby James124 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 sound like the upgrades planned are the best ones to do to be onestrob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Rather than the echo bb, have a look at the truvativ gigapipe dh, A very good isis bb and a lot cheaper than the echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kennythe1st Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 cheers mani was wondering that the t-mag basic setup like ive currently got has a high front end and with me being small a lower front end might help me out for upping and stuff?

Ash-Kennard Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 dont get middleburns on a mod, they just look wrong, get tensile cranks instead. just as good but look loads better. on a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kennythe1st Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 cheers. just looked at the tensile cranks and they look decent. for some reason i thought they only did front freewheel cranks. wanting to get rid of my front freewheel, main reason being theres better quality hubs available for rear freewheels.

watto Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) tensile cranks do accept front freewheel but you can put a screw on cog aswell for running freehubs on the rear Edited February 18, 2006 by watto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoteam!! Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 tensile cranks do accept front freewheel but you can put a screw on cog aswell for running freehubs on the rearyes, also the echo and zoo's take front cogs/freewheels there just as good aswell.

Mat Smith! Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I would go for Tensiles, and a FSA bb,And I don't think you will be able to get a Profile on Echo, but there are bodges and a topic in Trials Chat etc.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kennythe1st Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 why wouldnt i be able to fit a profile on an echo rim. onza hog rims seem fine, im running one at the mo, but the echo rim colour choices wud help me in the look of mi bike. is it just the amount of spokes they take> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Echo rims only come in 32h, so make sure you get hold of a 32 h profile hub. Which you could find difficult, but they do exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 -profile mini hub, echo rim Profiles don't fit on an echo rim just get a ronnie- middleburn rs7 cranks or tensiles which ever you prefer-echo isis BB sounding good-echo HIFI stem fine-zoo riser bars fine-zoo python forks personally i find the g.u ones nicer but whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
