James 24/7 trials Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 HiMe and my mate have just broke are tensile freewheels, mine only lasted 3 months.I need another but dont know what to get. I do alot of gaps and put alot of stress on it so need a strong decent one.What one would you recomend to be a realy strong and maybe indestructible?Or are free hubs any better? Need a disc one if i get one. Whats the best free hub to get thats disc?Again i want a decent strong one!Not fused how much they are just need a rally good strong one!Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Morton Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 How could you have broke a tensile. I've had mine for nearly 1 and a half year's and never had any problem's , Regualary serviced though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 How could you have broke a tensile. I've had mine for nearly 1 and a half year's and never had any problem's , Regualary serviced though.Plenty of people have broken them mate. Including me. I'd highly reccomend a Monty freewheel. My mate's had his for nearly 2 years and it's never skipped. I bought it from him to try it soon as my Tensile broke as well. I also love the White Industries freewheel, I have one on my BMX right now and it's very smooth, but I never ridden too much trials on it so it's probably really good from what I hear.

James 24/7 trials Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks for the replies but need to know whats the best freewheel for my style of riding (gaps and hops, i put alot of strain on it so need a good strong one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Eno, had one for 2 years and it was faultless, easly replacable internals means if it breaks it dead simple to fix and not too pricey, ran mine with 2 or 3 pawls for a while and it was fine still. Ultimate freewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim-p Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 If you have no problems with the amount of money then you should get a King!and then buy an ISO disc hub shell for it and get the internals changed over Then you have a Amazing hub with a 10 year warrantee and also you can buy everything you need for a King from Tarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 24/7 trials Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Hey, im liking the sound of that, where do you get the iso disc hub shell from and how much would that cost with the iso disc hub shell?Does that fit a mod, ive got an onza blade?James Edited June 10, 2009 by James 24/7 trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 eno withe industries all the time.The best , the more reliable.Not the best engagement, but it's the only freewheel i can trust.I have mine for 4 or 5 years now.Not any skipping.Only wrong point: the price.But it worth it!

weirdoku Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 ENO. If you can afford it.Mine only ever skipped when it was running on 5 paws out of 6. Never skipped before or after.2 of my friends has the new viz freewheel, which seems pretty decent, although one of my friends one has skipped already but might just be bedding in still.You could try a tensile, all of the ones my friends has had seemed to snap in half (the outer teeth) and only one I know that another friend still have hasn't killed him yet.My list of freewheel that I would buyENOENOENO (I'll be poor buy the time I go through my 3rd ENO...)Tensile or VIZthen whatever others...What ever you do, even if it's given to you don't use a try-all 108.9 freewheel. I'll post a new thread when I get round to it to show you what happens inside. It's ridiculously shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 24/7 trials Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have a tensile and thats what me and my mate and loads of other people have broke. They only have 20 engagement points. Im never getting one of them again. Mine is all mangled up inside, there S**T. I will take a picture of the inside once i get it off and show you how bad it is. Another thing is tensiles are insane to get of the crank arm, ive only had mine 4 months and it broke and now we can't get it off as its so tight.NEVER TRUST A TENSILE, THERE RUBBISH.James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
