I would sooner get a try-all or echo...that thing weighs two and a half pounds 1125g apparently.

Echo weighs 720. Mine actually weighs in at 710 on my scale at work.

Ahh shite... Didnt see it was THAT heavy :(


What rims would you suggest then? Do not need holes in rim : )


How about Sun singlewide or double wide? Isnt they supposed to be strong? Not to heavy either...
I`m going to use a v-brake so I`ll just grind the rim and then I will be able to use a rimbrake :)

yeah I know that.. But I`m just looking threw rims man! I want a new and strong rim ffs... The MT43 is stroken of the list because its too damn heavy :( What rims will you suggest???.........

I`m currently looking at Sun SingleWide.. Heard anything about this rim? Do not want the DoubleWide really because its a few mm to wide :)

Well, I`m wondering about the echo 06 rims... Maybe the front rim is as strong as the rear one? Both are doublewalled so? I dunno

I think I`ll order an DX32 from Sweden next week...

But what hub should I buy? I have an eye for the Hope Xc or bulb.. I think Im going to buy the XC, is this a good hub or should I buy the bulb?

Opinions please : )

but the single an double wide are creatures of the past. they really suck. heavy, dent, and no braking surface.
