bikerboysam1 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Which front hub is better, the HOPE XC or the 06 ECHO?Also, I am getting the Gold 06 Echo Rims so if I did go for the Gold Hope XC would the colours match?Thanks,Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Im not entirely sure the colours would match, but I think the hope would be a better hub than the echo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanie-b Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 The colours are very very close! , You'd have to gaze at it for a while to notice it i reckon The hope would probably look and perform better, So yeah, get a hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 theres no competition really..............hope have been in the business a lot longer than echo, they have more knowledge about hubs, so basically i would go for the hope, the colours may not match exactly , but its a trial bike........does it really matter that much?also worth looking at is the new hope pro 2 front hub, this is lighter than the xc and bulb models, it also features the same size flanges on either side of the hub, this makes building wheels easier, especially for mods due to the fact that the spoke length used is the same for both sides..........ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theone2be Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I would personally go for the Hope hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hope XC all the way . The new echo hubs seem a little on the dear side, especially at £62 for a front hub. The colours will look fine together . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John planet x Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) A front hub is a front hub to be honest (go for the cheaper one), i run a deore for crying out loud. and its 4 years old on a syncros rimm. still owning, light as anything too Echo ones look better to me.Oh and those rear hubs are scheissen hausen.

Simpson Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Front hub? does it matter? the cheapest the lightest personally the only reason id get a new front wheel would be to run a disk brake which im not interested in so what does it matter?
