xris_x Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm on the market for a new front disk wheel since my £4 halfords one is very buckled and heavy.I mainly ride street but aint to heavy on the bike, so i was looking at the V!Z disk hubs, there cheap at £45but i've heard the bearings get crushed easily, at 130g i'm not supprised but is it a sacrafice worth making, how much are bearings for them.The other hubs i've considered are monty disk, whtch at £55 is not too bad and still light but where's the colour? Hope Pro2's are nice but heavy when you include the skewer weight.All the other echo/zoo/czar are heavy'ish.Someone tell me, is the V!Z worth it or is there an alternative, What do you guys use....I'm going nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carboy280 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I would go for the Hope Pro 2 if it was me, Just because i like Hope soooo much and everyone knows how good the rear hub so the front must be equal... but because i cant afford it i run a deore hub and it has never let me down nice and cheap too.

tom 20 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The echo 05 hub from select bikes is lighter than the hope xc and its cheaper too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I would have suggested getting the echo 04/05 wheels build from select bikes but there out of stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Best going for a hope, but anything like an echo etc from tart would be great for you and I think they can be run with fun bolts to keep the weight down I don't know if you wanna know about rims too, but I have just bought a mavic d321, abit wider and abit heavier than a d521 both are good light rims for the front.
