Fish-Finger-er Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Look at the rim, the style of holes are known to fail as any hole in that placment should be round! I was only going to drill them so they where round by adding 2/3mm extra OD. Perfectly safewould it not be a better idea, to just drill real small holes in each corner of the hexagon, in the same way you drill a crack, so theres no where for the pressure to centre on.

super Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 would it not be a better idea, to just drill real small holes in each corner of the hexagon, in the same way you drill a crack, so theres no where for the pressure to centre on.Don't wan't to be pedantic f**fer but, drilling six little holes instead of one big one, are you sure!

TheMunn Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 im guessing its a hope trial with a moto lever.I just naturally assumed Pete is talking out of his arse again, nothing new there. About rims, the echo 07 one is very good but seeing as your a jerk about buying deng parts then how about a tryall or revell ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just you that kiled the 06 rims, they were weak, everyone killed them. The 07's have been improved on significantly and everyone has said how much stronger they are. Try-alls are crap, don't get one if you ride like you say you do, it'll last 2 weeks.And i was under the belief that 4X with as many spokes as you can get will be the strongest option.

Wright Pads Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 A differnt memeber here belive he rides for Hope which is very not ture as Hope now only do a Factory XC and DH team only. No one has proven me wrong on Hope at all. Nor EBCAnyways kids i've ordered a tasty bunch of rims to test out all on a King ISO thats been modded and custom upgrades to see which one is best at taking a wopping 200mm disc and given a beaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn;t work like i said it would as Tarty and Dave had said.I'm intreagued what is it then?If you mean that a hope moto lever on a mono-trials caliper wont work, then yes it will, it's been done no-problem. if that's not what you mean, what do you mean?Go for 36h 4X, tough as you like, and make sure you check the tension regularly.As for rim, the Spanks aren't dis-continued, they just changed the importers, my LBS can get them, and Andy, a local DH rider I know, knows the new importer, someone called Chris I think, so if anyone's after one, give me a PM.

The mono trial and moto leaver works but it doesn;t act or do or fee like what i said. So a differnt Hope product is being used but a mono trial caliper.

26inch Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 certainly go for 4x, it is loads stiffer laterally. As for 36h I dont see much point, 32h should be easily strong enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 32h is easyer as i can get a nice cheap hub though i'm debating between my rig set up now and going FFW insted of a King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish-Finger-er Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Problem is now to what hub and what rim!!! Shame no decent fixed hub with discmount as i would be sortedam i not being stupid, a fixed disc hub, is a fixed disc hub, other than strength to weight. and looks, theres nothing to it, theres no engagement system to consider. so dont see what the problem is, any fixed hub will do. dmr revolver with a screw on thread if you want that kinda fitment, otherwise jut get summit like a bt fixed. or even just get a shimano hub, an convert it to fixed. job done.

RobinJI Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 You may have broken one DMR, but it doesn't mean you'll break another.What about one of these?£30, British, Nice looking, and going by most on-one stuff, good quality.

Wright Pads Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Not British at all, made by Quando. Looks a bit bland and weak. I snaped one DMR on trials one on ym street bike on the way to work @ Rocket Cycles back in the day and 3 in a week on my jump bike.They look odd, not nice.Needs to be soild and stuff.Maybe a nice Phill Wood or soemthing..agh so hard on what to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 dont take this the wrong way, but how many HD king axles have you snapped? plus 5 dmr hubs, plus how ever many other brands of hubs etc youve distroyed(as if your someone who can snap 5 revolvers+ a couple of HD axles,and no doubt at least one regular king axle before you got the HD then youll most likely of been through at least one or 2 shimano hubs). i cant think of anyone thats snapped/broke that many hubs, i dont think any hub youll find short of some beefed up freeride/northshore hub with bugger all engagements will stand up to what you clearly dish out to your hubs for a reasonable amount of time. your either going to have to go for some tank of a hub, or alter the way you ride, dont go as big till you can get smoother or the like.

RobinJI Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines. What about a revolver with the nutted axle? or you could get a normal hub and lock it out.Something like this locked out, heavy, but would be fuggin indestructible. If you break one of those doing trials, then I can't explain how your legs would still be intact.How did you go through 3 hubs in a week? That's just plain weird, I know loads of people riding jump/street on revolvers going pretty big and they seem to last fine, not to mention the countless number of pros who have used them at some point.

I ride and really do go for it. I no longer mess about and really go out for the kill. Nowt big here at home but back in plymouth plenty big.Locking out is possible but it has risks and effort. Hope haven't sold many single speeds, fact CRC sold 0.

RobinJI Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Seriously, the singlespeed is just a trials hub that comes with a spacer kit, although so does the trials hub, so basically, they're the same. Look at the length of a freehub body on a CK singlespeed, you can get 3 gears on there max, if your lucky, but the hope one is the same 6 speed freehub as the normal trials one.The hope websites listings are always pretty weird, like the trials is QR there, and they all have 24 engagements, not 48 according to what they say, which everyone knows is wrong, as they are bolted and 48 engagement.Anyway, who really cares. There good hubs.But really, CRC have sold many many of the 'single speed' hubs, infact there's a whole thread in trials chat of a load of people saying 'Just ordered one' when they were on offer.But again, who cares, lets get back to what would be a good hub.
