manuel Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 ok my hope mono just died a horible death and i need a new hub anyone got any opinions which arent king king king..... like the profiles - what are they like ? anyway i just fancied getting some top forum advice - oh and the best place (cheapest) to get said hub would be handy - being a student sucks.

Brisa Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) Do you run gears of single speed? I use a DMR Revolver s/s hub with an ACS freewheel on, 36 ep's strong and has not skipped since I got it while riding trials, just one or twice riding along, it was loose then. Since I locktited the lock ring up it hasnt even done that... Pretty cheap combo too, less than £50 and reliable. Edit: Chain Reaction Link for the hub and Tarty Bikes for the freewheel. Works out at £44.50, think that all includes postage... Edited March 1, 2005 by Brisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) ahh should have said - gears are a must ..... but that is a bargain.... Edited March 1, 2005 by manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 ahh should have said - gears are a must ..... but that is a bargain.... ← Have you thought about front freewheel? Echo Cranks are pretty cheap again from Tarty Bikes and your sponsered by viz arent you... shouldn't be too hard getting a fixed hub for nowt then :ermm: All you need then is the ACS freewheel again... Only thing i can really think of keeping it low cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 ahh should have said - gears are a must ..... ← Weeelll... if King is out of the question, and gears are a must, how about getting your Hope sent back and fixed for free... and then waiting for the Hope Trials hub to be released? (approx 6-8 weeks). More info and detailed pictures on TartyBikes later today :ermm: Other option would be a Profile - which are still relatively unproven - but have a lot going for them since the design is good. Its very similar to the Hope in a lot of aspects (well, the other way round, since the Profile came first). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Im not sure theyre quite that much... I shall find out :ermm: The Hope will come in at approx £120 btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing i can really think of keeping it low cost. ← So can i get some that will spin on an isis bb ? or is that only those tensile ones ??? yer i had thought of that..... dunno how much do you reckon for the set up ? im not really that keen on going front freewheel as there is gonna be a cassette hub (one day) from viz so seems abit silly ?? also just had a look on chain reaction to see about profiles (they dont have any so if anyone knows ...) and i saw those hadley hubs going dirt cheap . . . . . they look to have had real up and down reviews . . . . anyone know the score ?

I'd steer clear of them :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 You can get koxx cranks, zoo, tensile in isis. With the tensiles you can run front freewheel or should you need to buy a bash that has a a spider for 22-20t rings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planetXstar Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Well if you dont want a king because of the price then a profile is out of the question because they are over £250 profile would be the best option if you dont mind the price i run them front and rear on my bmx and me and my friend run them on the back of our trials bikes they are bomb proof and if you do get a problem you send it back and they will fix it or send you a new hub at a cost of £50 :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
