Depends on the freewheel and hub...but typically a hub will outlast a FFW. In my experience FFWs are more reliable though, and a lot cheaper to replace. For a stock like the Zoo pitbull 18:15 or 18:16 should be perfect, the hub spacing should be 135mm Freehubs like the Chris kIng are very good, as is the hope pro2 trials if you dont mind low engagements. I wouldn't trust any form of Deng freehub though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Canham Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I have a profile freehub, and it has been pretty reliable, has skipped a few times but nothing major. Profiles dont fit 26" bikes though. Personally i prefer a freehub, dunno why i just do. But have been thinking about going back to FFW becuase there are some really freewheels out now.

ogre Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 For a stock like the Zoo pitbull 18:15 or 18:16 should be perfect, the hub spacing should be 135mm wrong you want 18-14 on an 06 pitbull the stays are a weird length and 18-15 will give you shitty chain tention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Have to disagree there, i am running one, and have been for coming up to two years now. Did you know the ratchet ring on the inside is glued in? It certainly used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Did you know the ratchet ring on the inside is glued in? It certainly used to be. Yup i do indeed know this, But the hub has been on my 24" dj and my trials bike, and has been fine. But i am liking the look of the new Trial-tech (f)fw But then need a new set-up so ill go for a profile next i thinks. I do keep checking the rachet every couple of moths to ensure its not moving. But after two years, its still going strong. And i still have all my teeth, which is a bonus. Maybe i got lucky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 wrong you want 18-14 on an 06 pitbull the stays are a weird length and 18-15 will give you shitty chain tention so you will have good tension with shitty gear ratio?
