Sharp Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hey, I am in need of a new set of wheels, on the back i am considering the koxx wheel including... try all rim, try all fixed hub and im not sure which spokes? or...... koxx rim, echo fixed hub and sapim race spokes. Does anybody know how much better the try all hub is costing 150 than the echo fixed hub at 75 ( quite a price difference) On the front i only really need a new rim and spokes but am not too sure whether i should just buy a full wheel, i have a decent koxx hub on my front rim at the minute but the rim and spokes are broke... any ideas?

chrishayton Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 the try all hub is pretty crap to be honest, bearings arent great and overall quality doesnt deserve the huge price tag, id say go for the echo, and the Bt ones look quite nice to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantham Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have ridden all 3 of the hubs and I'm currently using the BT wheels.I would seriously recomend the BT ones, not just because I ride for them but because i believe they are the best.The echo hubs the axles snapped far to easliy, although the new ones might have changed design now?The koxx hubs, as said before the bearings in them are fairly poor Koxx and BT rims are pritty much the same except Bt rims have eyelets which is better.The Bt axles seem really stong and the rest of the hub seems fine as well.If your intrested in the BT wheels give me a shout I might be able to help you out. my msn is pattdonovan@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8grumble Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) hi, i have an echo rear hub and it is rubbish. The axle bent within two weeks and the the bearings are not very good! Soo i would go for the bt hub as it has has some good feed back, i hope this helps you grum Edited June 1, 2006 by gr8grumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hmm, have axles snapping always been a problem with echo hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 my front tryall is fine so i can't really say on a rear. i prefer the aesthetic qualities of the echo ones though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Does anyone else run bt wheels and if so have you got anymore information on them? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8grumble Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) hmm well my axle bent within 2 weeks but.. it hasnt affected my riding so.. its ok but i would feel safer with a straight axle grum Edited June 1, 2006 by gr8grumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
