Dude, your second post was 30 min after your first post. In the U.S. that is the afternoon and everyone is at work.

if you need an instant answer do a search on the internet, there is lots of good stuff also

i'm sure the hub is fine for your non-trials bike you are using it for.

Ok,Sorry.

Anyway im gona goto bike shop and see if he can order me dx-32 rim (36h)/ dt spokes/chain ring(not sure which one)/ chain (not sure which one)/ Atomlab G.I. MTB Single Speed Rear Disc hub and built the wheel

dude,
there are other suggestions that are a more proven trials-tough option for a singlespeed wheel. Surly or DMR thread on singlespeed hub, and thread on BMX freewheel. ACS or White Industries Trials version. These are an excellent option because in the case of the ACS, youcan replace them cheaply, quickly, and easily. In the case of the white industries, you're getting engagement that's almost as good as a king hub.

The atomlab looks cool, I'll agree, but the bmx freewheel option is a widely accepted solution to a tough, cheap, light trials drivetrain.

sorry if you know this already.

Oh, and about a chain. Since you're going singlespeed, get a thick/strong BMX chain like a kmc cool k710 or k810. They're much stronger for less money than a regular mtb chain.

Good luck

have we previously established that you are, in fact, from England and as such should be able to form coherent English sentences? Am I thinking of another member?
