Only freehub worth running is a king, had mine for about 8 months and its amazing, never skipped on me, parts are expensive but serviced everyso often and itll last a lifetime. feels really solid where as freewheels seem to feel a bit flexy under heavy pedaling, if you can get one id defo recommend over any freewheel, sound crisp aswell
also if you change the hubshell to the iso one you can run disc -
man just get a limey 320 like mine and youll be happy

haha i left this on in work. colleagues have an aquired sense of humour, iv been riding four years and can hop a lil higher than 12 inches

I can only jump about 12 inches at the moment, can anybody tell me how to jump higher? I really want to go higher... very high, so i can land on bins and stuff, maybe even a bus shelter one day..
Thanks, look forward to your response

chris king hub on a try all hole rim, put simply, in my opinion no better wheel out there
-
yer, itd definitely rub with your setup on a limey 20, the 320 seems a little better for clearence so itll be close if it does clear
-
will probably just rub a little to be honest just down to rear sprocket position
-
at most you might have to change your bb to a 118 instead of a 122.5. and change chain to 3/32, and your sprocket to an echo tr. you may find it all fits but is very close to rubbing, changing those things will just give more clearence
-
with try all cranks and freewheel you can run a 118mm bb no problem which will give you the most amount of room, the thread is close to the edge of the hub so i think your best bet would be to run an echo tr sprocket as the teeth are centred instead of offset to the right, as i say the 320 seems alot better for chain clearence so you will be able to get it set up ,might just mean trying a few things out,
-
Yeah but what about a 122.5mm BB with front freewheel?
completely depends on your cranks, on a limey 20 i was running a 118bb with a try all freewheel, an eno is wider so wouldnt work, also your cranks need to clear the maggy slaves, try alls are probably the biggest offset. also running a 3/32 chain instead of a 1/8 will give you a few mm of clearence, what rear hub have you got??
-
heyy, in terms of chain rubbage, the 320 seems to be alot better thyan the 20, im running a king rear with 127 bb and echo tr cranks and everything clears fine.
-
kings are ace, mine has never skipped on me and sounds awesome, can completely depend on it.

that bike brings back memorys, mine from about 2 years ago, seen it change hands on here a few times, surprised by how only a few things have changed in that time :-D

Truer words have never been spoken
with a fresh products lever blade

just do it from the outside(rim tape side) use a screwdriver and a hammer to punch it so the drill bit doesnt slip, did a mavic this way a while ago, worked a treat
-
here you go dude, think this is the one your talkin about
hope this helped, phil

hiya man, yer iv used tr rims front and rear and not had a problem, not the lightest out there but far from the heaviest, great value for money, they hold a grind well and i never had problems strength wise, doing big drops aswell, iv also used a rear onza sealed disc hub, again not a problem with it, decent hub, just the name on it may put a few people off, hope this helped, phil
-
looks sweet, like an old atomz evo3
-
in my opinion if i wer you id get sum good cnc v pads, possibly new arms if yours arent too good, sum sd7 avids are spot on, vees for the win, the evo adaptors for maggys tend to be abit gash
-
yer but not everyone has the ability of danny mac, as i say this is just how i got on with a 24, but as said before, if you ride more trialsy riding, then maybe keep the mod, as i was still trying to ride trialsy stuff on the 24 when it was much suited to the more streety element, which it does very well, just depends entirely on what kind of riding you will be doing, phil
-
Thanks Phil, this did help- your saying that the 24" was more of an effort? Hrm.. How long did you have it and ride it for? Cause sometimes you have to get used to a whole new riding style before you can ride good!
I guess I should try riding a 24" before actually getting one.. And if I like it then I'll build a super cheap one
i tried riding the inspired over a few months, way long enough to get used to it, and could ride it alrite, but wen it came to bigger stuff, it was so much easier and fun on my 20", nothing more frustrating than knowing you can do something easily if you just switched over to a different bike
this is all my experience though, i find it the same with stocks, cant get on with them

the toxsin frames are very good, had a 1, a 2, and a 20.1 and all have rode verywell, nice and strong, i wud go for the toxsin if i were you, it looks mint, like it hasnt been rode, hope this helps, phil
-
i got an inspired aswell as my limey20 and didnt like it one bit, felt too different to mod imo, good fun all the same, but i found myself everytime i was going out riding id get the 20" because i rode better on it, doing the same stuff on the 24 required so much more effort, so i ended up sellin it, hope this helped, phil
