CurtisRider Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 seing as you ride mod, get tensiles, if you ride stock, get middleburns the skf bbs seem to be very popular and have a great build quality, so id choose that over the echorim wise, the alex dx32 is a beast of a rim, and cheap, but not silly wide, if you want something wide, it seems as though koxx have sorted their act out and now make rims out of a slightly harder brand of cheese so in simple terms: tensile, skf, alex-that to the point enough?

Greeny Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 just one little question why middleburns if you ride 26, and not 20.but thank you people keep them coming Greeny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramps Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Middleburns cannot take a front freewheel/fixed screw on sprocket. Tensiles can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 middleburns for cranks (keep an eye out for 18 tooth bashes and rings soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 but middleburns come with a bolt on sprocket already so...Because you usually ride 18:12T on a mod, and you can't buy Middleburns with an 18T chainring. You could get a Super Pro Trials (16T) and a 11T sprocket which should give you a similar ratio to 18:12. But it'll be tough to get an 11T chainring on the rear, you can have it done if you use a Profile but that requires changing the driver.

Danny Kearns Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 How's this sound.Middleburn Rs7 super pro trials crank set, comes with 16 tooth cog up front and bashguard.Middleburn Rs7 Super Pro Trials Crank SetThe the echo external isis bottom bracket.Echo External Isis Bottom Bracket With Tool For Fitting.Then seeing as you are running a profile rear freehub you are limited for rim choice seeing as the profile hub's are 36 hole. It is going have to be a koxx try-all fluro rim in my opinion.Koxx try-all Fluro RimThat should sort you out nicely.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 middleburn rs-7 (i believe they are the trials cranks)ortensilesand which isis bottom bracket?echo for like £50 SKF BRF-300 for about £30what rear 36 hole wide rim to fit a zoo python do you recommend?Middleburns as way too many Tensiles snap!I hate Echo and seen lots of there BB's fail. SFK seam good, FSA i've always used!I belive any 38 to 47/48mm rim will fit and run perfectly. Just up to you, wider more stable, control etc, thinner lighter etc!Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Every bottom bracket seems to have its faults really, pete, one of my mates got through 2 FSA bottom brackets in as many rides! I'm not so keen of the echo ones either really though, for some reason I don't really trust any deng stuff with bearings in, It just doesnt seem right. I'd go with the SKF as you're using a profile so freewheel clearence isn't a problem. They seem suficiently overbuilt to take most abuse and last a while. So yeah, Middleburns as they rule, SKF and I'd say and echo 07 rim if you can get them in 36hole, or maybe one of those unicycle koxx ones if you can get them, ment to be good and are 36 hole, someones signature rim I beleive??

RobinJI Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) Kris Holmes.....is that right? Thats the bugger, tis Chris HolmLinky£29, same design as try-all but better alloy and eyeletted, so yeah, basicly a koxx rim thats not made of cheese. There ment to be amazing, but only really any use if you're using 19" 36h. Edited November 13, 2006 by Dont you Just Hate it When... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeny Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 ok thank you everyone so much this has been a lot of help so i'm defiantly going for the middleburns.skf bottom bracket at £40 but if i can afford i will go for the £85 one (or do you think this would be a waste of money?)has anyone else heard of someone using a unicycle rim for the rear rim of your bike?seems a good idea and very strong but i'm still undecided on a flumo rim and the unicycle ideawould it be best to have eye-letted or un eye-letted?thank you Greeny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
