wayneone Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Going to get a whole new wheel(front and rear) i like the look of the new echo rims with the machined pockets, but really unsure what hub to get Not looking to spend loads so a chris king is not a option for me, theres only one hub on tartybikes and it don't look too good. What do you guys recommend? EDIT: some how missed all the hubs on tartybikes still confused though.

nmt_oli Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Right i run a 8 speed cassette, will the hope hub take this, i have no idea how to attach or detach cassetts is it hard?(ill be getting the hopes and the echo rims spokes arnt important are they? ← The hope hub will take an 8 speed cassette, as long as it is a cassette and not a freewheel (unlikely as its 8 speed, so should be fine). If you want a disk mount on the wheel get a hope XC instead of a mono, they are identical apart from disk mount. To remove a cassette you need a Cassette tool (what an inventive name! (Y) ) and a Chainwhip (kinky :)" ) The chian whip holds the cassette stoping it from rotating, the the other tool fits into the lockring so you can undo it with a big spanner. have a good look around at tools, they vary in price and qaulity. And spokes are important actually! they hold the hub to the rim! useless whel with out them :D on a serious note, its worth getting decent ones, i recomend DT swiss Comp or Super comp thats what i use. make sure you get the right length too.

wayneone Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm going to get tarty bikes to build it so they will sort out the spoke length, thanks for the help with the cassette and thats for the info on the mono and the xc versions of the hope :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneone Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Does the drillings matter? as long as the hub and the rim match(same amount of drillings) i was going for 32 hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Does the drillings matter? as long as the hub and the rim match(same amount of drillings) i was going for 32 hole. ← 36h is obviously marginally stronger, but I've run 32h wheels for 6 years with no problems - and I'm a fatty! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
