*OnzaMike* Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sealed hubs, a sealed hub, viz ones just come in lots of colours? Get one, dont think you will really feel much difference than any other sealed hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 arent they quando hubs but anodized? what about american classic hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Trials-uk Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hey there The front V!Z hubs are not quando hubs!, They are alot different from the quando's and better. The V!Z hubs runs on 2 japanease sealed barings and very light, they come in alot of colors and you can use 5mm fun bolts or skewers if you like. check out www.vizbikes.com for more info and pics..

aaroncosbey Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm in the process of gettin a couple of wheels at the moment, the viz hubs off danko seem like a good job. Echo and zoo are the same and Viz and brisa components are the same! :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaroncosbey Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 are they? i hope the frames arent the same :mellow: dont think they will be though. :ermm: ← from what i can gather, bike companies buy selected components from a supplier/manufacturer of some sort, stick their label on and sell the product for a high mark-up price. :( viz apparently are quite good quality and cheap. :-" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan@Trials-uk Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Brisa frames are made in Brazil, Viz are not. Stu ← Hey Stuart I think what Aaron is trying to say is that , echo and zoo parts are ALL made in china along with onza.... viz and brisa PARTS are made in Taiwan, Eg, stems, bars hubs. etc.... Viz frames are not made in the same factory as brisa, so do not worry james. :ermm: regards Dan@trials-uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
