ted Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 your having a doddle. lol an echo hub compared to a profile...noway. i have a profile, if you like the noise then its tons better if not.... there still better! grahamI used to think that until i got one. The echo freehubs are great. They are easily as good as the profiles and look alot nicer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Swindlehurst Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 ! good hub !Mines great! ,Love it! the only problem i had with my was when i first got it! it had a couple of skips and a few random noises coming from in side the hub,God no's if that was just the hub wearing in or not But after a few weeks it stopped all the retard noises and started to become a trust worthy hub!, And now i've had mine over a year and its still going strong,(Touch wood)just becarefull when your giving it a grind try to cover up the sprocket area so u don't get all the metal shaving's into the hub! Not a good experience! good hub well recommended!danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Save your money for a hope or a chris king dude! you will be thankfull! except that a hope won't fit and £400 quid for a king bmx hub is taking the piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 They arent exactly expensive are profiles, can pick a wheel up second hand for like £90!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurich Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have personally seen that hub blow up under a trials rider. Also, i've heard of many cases of failure to the freehub mechanism with trials riders. I would seriously stay away from those if you value your life. They're time bombs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxxdude Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 get a profile hub they are a good all round hub and also come with a lifetime warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Ive heard that the bearings on the echo hubs bearings seem to go very quickly but definatly get a profile well worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 i went from have freewheel to profile but then for some reason i just decided to change back and i will now never go back to a profile.ENO JK...for some reason?Anyway, i went from an eno to a profile.They do tend to skip less, but the weight they add onto the back wheel is quite noticeable. I much preferd the weight distribution when i had my eno.Another problem i have with mine is that the cog is possitioned too far in, so i get a dodgy chainline. But really there isn't much difference.If i was going to build a bike up from scratch, i'd stick with an eno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt! Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 porfile is worth getting instead of a freewheel unless you have a wjite industry (eno) but enev then a porfile is still worth getting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
