Right ho i got an echo rear cassete hub to test from SELECTBIKES, so i build it up on to an echo 05 rim, it all looks very pretty big massive man bolts to bolt it on with fancy anodising as well, at 1st i was a bit scared cos i thort this f**kng thing is gonna kill my teeth, and i was moving from an eno with 72ep to the echo hub which has 48, when i jumped on it i found that it felt exactly the same and SOOOOOOOOO much more stiffer than a freewheel, and this bad boy hasnt skipped ONCE ive had it like 2months and its been an utter beast for me the who time.

i cant really do reviews cos i dont know what else to say about it lol

buy one and jib or profiles cos there noting but trouble(mine blew up in 6 weeks:()

Of course it's the same, you've got a 3:2 gear ratio so obviously 48eps on the rear will give you 72eps on the cranks.

He speaks the truth. I do like rear freewheels more though, there's just something about them. How are the bearing doing? I've heard some bad things about echo bearings, people normally seem to replace them with Japanese ones after not too long.
