Abdab. Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Are you on about the rear hub or the rims?Echo 07 wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 cls says the 07 echo rim is gud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well put your head to it and work it out.He says a echo 2007 wheel which obviously means that he is having the echo 07 hub and rim.So, all fixed hubs are practically the same, the engagement all comes from the freewheel up front, the only difference in fixed hubs is the name(make) and sometimes the axle is stronger than others.The rims also have had great reviews so far, mr craigleescott, said they are holding up well for himself.Also from what i have been watching damon watson is putting them through a fair amount and they seem to be holding up well.So yeah for both parts of your wheel, they are both top notch.I give high reccommendations for both.Dan.

joewhite Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 one small problem Danny and that is the fact that Craig and Damon both run the 26" rims and this fella has a mod. But yer the rims are strong i have the 06 rim and i have the tiniest dent and ive had it for exactly a year. Proper good rims!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 mod/stock shouldn't make a difference, infact mod rims are stronger than stock rims (of the same brand) what with them being smaller it's harder to kill them, i can't explain it but it makes sence in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rim has koxx sized holes so its a lot stronger than the '06 rim, deffinately go for it mate Edited November 12, 2006 by onzadude123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
