gianttrials Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 if you get them built by a good wheel builder then 32 should be okay, and at the end of the day if a wheels gonna break then its gonna break whether its got 32 or 36 spokes. echos do seem pretty good though.

gianttrials Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 you have a hog i was going to get one is it okyeah 36 hog on a hope ti glide, works well and have hit harshly a few times, not dented. built by a very good wheel builder which helps though. i'd reccomend them, gonna get the front version soon aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Echo 07's are stronger, I've had both, just get one. Four spokes will make little difference, it just narrows down your choice of hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom 20 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I use the 07 echo hub and rim ( 32h), its really strong and gives you a wider choice of hub.Last years echo rim was like cheese but their stronger this year. Go 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
