Flames35 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I am building a new rear wheel for my Phase 1.2 and have 2 options but because I am a newbie am not sure which is the best to help me progress. The rim is an Alex DX32 36 hole and brand new. Pedals are fixed using ISIS and cannot use FFW. Front cog is 22T. Option 1: A DMR Revolver hub with the ENO freewheel. Pictures below. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/complete_freewheels/white_industries_eno_trials/c16p77.html http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47468 Option 2: A Hope Pro 2 Trials rear hub. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/135mm_free_hubs/hope_pro_2_trials/c148p10058.html I have read all about pawls and engagements and it is melting my head. In your opinion, what is the best. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Pro 2 all the way. Mine is old and hasn't skipped once....seems a pretty good product to me. Run Pro 2's on all my bikes, there's just nothing to dislike about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flames35 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just ordered a Hope Pro 2 T with black spokes and red nipples on black rim. Will post a picture when it has been built. This will be a week or two because CRC will have to build it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flames35 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 £111 for the rear hub, £10 for the nipples and not sure about the build. It will be less than £150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
