lankyri Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 hope xc's on the new echo rims if they fit which they should 48mm wide, as for the Tensioner why not go for a sora rear mech 15 pound from supercycles and really small so less chance of hitting it on walls etc hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 sounds really good so far. For wheels through personal experience of profile king hope and more i would have to go for the hope front and rear hubs every single time. purly due to the simplicity and quality of the hub and the excellent quality of the service from Hope technologies. Build the hubs onto either Echo, Koxx, Dx32 or onza for the rear. For the front i would use again koxx echo onza or mavic. For the single speed tensioner Fresh products would be ideal as they are very robust and easily adjustable. Also they can be taken off easily for when you need to remove your wheel. hope this helps :P Lovatt :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 well seings as you have got front freewheel why not get, viz hubs front and back, viz rims in the narrower version which i think they now do, disc front maggy rear, sorted really and use a mech instead of a tensioner (stupid things-only my opnion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerboysam1 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Get the new echo hubs and 06 rims, they are lush :D :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials_joe Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Yeah i was thinking New Black Echo Rims on New Black Fixed Rear hub and New Black Non Disc front hub. Built with silver spokes. As for Tensioners, iam still unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
