ogre Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 f**king newbs, you could always run a threaded hub and a freewheel for some serious engagement points (assuming your not running a screw on sprocket up front, unless you can buy one of them tensile adaptors) the trialtech hub + a tryall 108.9 freewheel would be cheaper + far better in that either part is cheap to replace, so if one went boom you wouldn't be saving up/paying off a king/pro2 win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onza4life Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ok thanks for all your help lol, i will probably go for a hope peace out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 if he is already running a fixed sprocket up front then what would be the point in changing over to ffw . and why do you go say f**king newbs i have been riding trials and buildin bikes for 8 or more years now its proboaly longer than you have known what trials isBecause your all being retards? Because as he said to buy a fixed rear hub, freewheel and sproket will cost about the same as a proII and offer benifits, (which he stated). I think you should just buy a ProII and be done with it, fairly cheap and Hope are always happy to help out with servicing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Do you think that there is a problem with the hub or is it purely the fact that there is not enough chain around the sprocket? Get pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Banks Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Could just be a loose chain or bent chainwheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Aw i know what you mean lol im a complete noob. Its a Shimano DeoreFrom my online analysis this is 95% most likely the problem if he is a competant mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Petee Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Hi, the shimano deore hub is not dezigned for trials. Thats 1 of the main reasons why it skips. To be quiet honest the hub it selfe its rubish, I use to have 1 when I first started trials and it was a wrong idea!!!!
