Yes and no. There hub does free wheel but it's not a standard design freehub. It's made up of three bearing on the end of a flanged spring clip(?) So when you pedal the spring expands into a set of teeth on the hub shell. Called the "rock and roll" design. ROLLIN'ROLL ROLLIN´ROLL - revolutionary clutch, patented by the House of RB Design, has been designed for all kinds of freewheel bicycles. Really revolutionary clutch not resembling a little bit to any of those, controversial "Epoch Making" inventions appearing and disappearing every year but of no use. With ROLLIN´ROLL you can forget all problems occurring in connection with other freewheel clutch systems. No matter how many pawls the system comprises, might it be even the frontcogged ratchet system, all of them have one common shortage. The pawls and cogs are never operating simultaneously at same moment. Thus every time when only a single pawl is in action, it is likely cause the destruction of the edge either of the cog or the pawl itself. Try tu turn slowly any freewheel hub and listen carefully. You hear the segments to engage one by one consequently, not in the proper way at once all of them. There is no doubt, that the pawls and the cogs respectively often do not mesh correctly, they are simply engaged by the edge of one of the pawls. The edge not being able to resist the extreme stress and faces inevitable destruction. Try ROLLIN´ROLL (view animation) our patented brand mark product it is going to get rid of above mentioned trouble. We do not use any pawls in our clutch anymore. There are meshing needle rollers working instead. But not like those ones in self-locking "silent clutches" suffering a little detrition cause the clutch to slip. ROLLIN´ROLL rollers fit into the proper concave flute of the waveguide perfectly. The shape of the flutes has been designed with the aim to enable: Exact meshing of the needle rollers with the remaining parts of the clutch. The needle rollers to fit into the proper spot simultaneously and at once, so that the actual stress of engagement is divided equally between them. The needle rollers to fit in the purposefully shaped concave flutes of the waveguide optimally in order to split the actual stress over the possibly biggest area. To achieve an extremely short idle course of the clutch. Our sophisticated solution, the ROLLIN´ROLL freewheel clutch, is not only a solid, but even a long-lasting clutch. We are happy indeed to be able to offer it to those who appreciated. Only they can understand the real value of ROLLIN´ROLL clutch. My advice stay the hell away.

They say that tensioning it up the way is better (like in the picture). But that totaly depends on the chain length. I'm running mine down at the moment because my chain is to long, but a half link/chain will sort this out.

There you go just take a look at the picture, it gives you clearer picture than words.

I've got one on my Leeson at the moment. Are you not able to fit it or are you unsure? Make sure the bolt for the black shim things bolt is loose. Take the black bit with the hole in it, take the qr off and put the qr through the black bit so that it sits just in side the frame. Bolt the fat bolt at the bottom into the dropout hole on your frame, adjust the chain to the right tension and tighten both bolts. This is the way i do it and it works perfect. Both up or down just place the roller above or below the chain depending on the length of your chain. PM me if this doesn't work.

One of these two?

Which Dmr tensioner is it? I've run both types so i can give you addvice on both the rigid and the spring tensioners.

I know it sounds like a retarded idea but a sliding bottom bracket would be an idea. Don't know how it would work. Maybe have a ovalised bottom bracket shell so that the BB can slide back and forth. With 2-4 bolts either side to push it back or forward. If it was made the frame would probably be to week but if it were made I'm sure there could be some sort of heavy duty gusseting put on. Like i said just an idea i had instead of Chain tensioners or Eccentric BB or hubs.

I'd say maybe some coloured brake mounts and some Red magura cable. Put to much red on though and it will look stupid. If your going for the super Cheesy look get a Wipperman ConneX 908 chain in red. Why oh why did they release coloured chains?

Might just be my style of riding then. I've run Hope hubs ever since and haven't had any problems with them. What rim are you running by the way, i haven't seen many 28 hole rims.

Thats your opinion, what tyres do you run. Just checked your profile, another person that runs Maxxis, how original.

That doesn't make sense though. Sorry, i've got you now. So running with the split link it's to slack but when you take it out it's to tight?

No kidding these are the best tyres i have ever used. Im going to get some for my Leeson.

Awe I'm sorry. I just think it doesn't go with the rest of the bike. If i get it machined and the bike looks S**T I'll get another coloured one. You'll understand why i want it changed when there's more pictures up.

And look at what my rim looked like. Nice even, deep, sharp cut. Beastly grind that never slipped but ate my Monty pads to F**K. So i'm going to say get a metal cutting disk.

I know kind of looks out of place doesn't it. Hopefully i will be sending it to Fresh Products to get machined at the end of the month. Going to keep it in stealth colours Silver and black. Colours don't appeal to me that much. Will get some proper pics very soon, I'll give it a polish first though. Thanks for the comments.

Well as you can see this is my Newish Leeson off Gareth. Eventually got some decent pictures of it today after not riding for 2 weeks. Thanks David20 for taking the pictures. Hope you like them. Thanks for looking. Post your comments.

Dont know? My bad if it is.

I thought you needed at least 100 post's before you could do this?

Agreed. Cant think of any other company that can rival them. British made pieces of art. Strong, stiff and they come with a life time guarantee (not that you'd need it).

The only problem with Maxxis tyres is that they weigh a fair bit.

www.bike4.eu Thats the webpage but theres no info on what the frame is (mod or stock) or how much it will be.

Yeah, these boosters are monster's. But remember it's not the thickness of the booster that stops the flex, it's the width.

Yeah being different is what it's all about. No body rides the same as each other so why should everybody ride the same stuff. Try Tioga, nokian, kenda, panaracer. Companys that aren't usually related to Trials.

I think i have a pair of these. I've caught my jeans in my chain so many times, most annoying part is that most of the time it gets stuck in the chain-ring as well, so when you try to pedal back you cant and end up smashing your elbow off the ground. Tie pin them, elastic band, tuck them in all perfect ideas. Or you could just by some tighter trousers for riding.

Use the search on the Forum if you cant. By the way what frame have you got?
