cai Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi i'm building up a 26" at half decent spec.c'zar ivan frame,onza smart guys,echo cnc cranks,front hope,rear maggie,front try-all wheel, 32hrear try-all rim, 32hand all the bits and bobs (headset, bb, chain..etc)its all second hand, but very good condition!anyway all i need now is a freehub, hopefully rather cheap since my budget gone so a deng freehub is all i can afford right now being its half-price. C'zar freehub.so after all that heres the question - are they any good?, if not looks like i'll be just riding the T-Comp till the summer, cai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt touch any deng freehub. They where poor made and not thought out well and a disaster i think. The hub at 1st was supose to come out with 72eps but deng soon found out he couldnt do that and had to delay things and in end they where rushed out. I dont think any deng sponsored rider actually uses one in this country do they?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think Ben Travis did.Yep, and his was fine as far as I remember. We've also had a local guy with one on 26" for over a year, also no problems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_OSuudvOYQ (black Adamant A1)The 20" hubs have been more reliable in my experience, around 80% with no problems I would estimate.

cai Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 That guy on the adamant looked fine, there were no skips in engagment what so ever. As tempting as the pice tag is i'll trust the majority of the riders and say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 wheeler is one of verry few people who were lucky .i would strongly recomend a hope pro 2agrred, a guy had one at the weekend when we were in carmarthen was mint, or get a c-k nathens was mint but i think thats a little bit past your budget:P and most people say the skip any way so hop pro 2 *** !
