oscar vibes Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I will back everyone up who has posted already, get a tensile lad. In your price range, and they sound cool when you have one on your bike. I have one, and I think nearly everybody who I ride with does to!

jandamna Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 personally i think you should go for the Monty 211 t-6 pawl, it has the same number of engagment points, 18t and is yours for the easy sum of £40 linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 lol i meant same engagment as a chris king, and no they aint crap there great my friend has had one for a few weeks and it hasent skipped once.No, they really are rubbish, not as shite as a Try-All for packing in, but almost. I have only heard bad stuff about these two.On the other hand my Tensile has been on for 7 months, it has never come loose or skipped and is still really smooth. It seems everyone elses is the same.

Tom3bar Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hey,Well i use the WI ENO for a few month now, very very happy with it, slip only once on ground.Very durable and reliable and rebuildable!I think it's worth the extra money.

pre67 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 iv had a Monty 211 t-6 pawl for 2weeks naw and i thnk it sick so good not let me down 1 and i dono why pipe thing ther so shit as it cant cum loss as the the side with normley cums loss on nomel free wheels is on the in side so it up ageanest the crank are of hub wich ever whay your have yours set up and it haz the same engagement points as a chris king and chris kings are 360 pound new and monty free wheels are 39 i no with id go for hears the Description of tarty bikes - Brand new from Monty, as specced on their 2007 221 Ti bike!- Six high quality heat treated steel pawls are offset into groups of three into a tough 36 tooth ratchet, giving 72 engagement points per revolution. (wich is the same as a 360 pound chris king )- The bearing locking is also situated against the crank arm to keep it from coming loose - a nifty little feature!- 4 large removal pockets are also set into the other side of the freewheel: these do not stick out like tabs, which allows shorter bottom brackets to be run, and therefore better chain lines and increased chain life.- Also compatible with the SKF Bottom Brackets.- Weight: 179go yer btw Tensile freewheels are shit in my eyes ther 5 pound cheeper and 12 clicks less then a monty. iv never had a free wheel as good as a monty 1 and iv had my fair shir of free wheels over the years on my bmxs an mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate has had two and they both have skipped and finally given up. He had an ENO, that skipped occasionally. My Tensile has never ever skipped and I have had it in the time he has had two Try-Alls and an ENO! He is getting a Tensile next.nope, havent had one, but out of the ~7-8 reviews ive seen on them, 1 or 2 were good.Same here, but none of the good ones were real reviews, as they had only had them for a few weeks.iv had a Monty 211 t-6 pawl for 2weeks naw and i thnk it sick so good not let me down 1 and i dono why pipe thing ther so shit as it cant cum loss as the the side with normley cums loss on nomel free wheels is on the in side so it up ageanest the crank are of hub wich ever whay your have yours set up and it haz the same engagement points as a chris king and chris kings are 360 pound new and monty free wheels are 39 i no with id go for hears the Description of tarty bikes - Brand new from Monty, as specced on their 2007 221 Ti bike!- Six high quality heat treated steel pawls are offset into groups of three into a tough 36 tooth ratchet, giving 72 engagement points per revolution.

There are more people pn here saying they are crap than good. The Tensile is mint, you can't notice the difference between a 72 and a 60 click. They are £35 and mine has lasted me 7 months! It has been the best investment for my bike so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyrider07 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I would advise a tensile even though I have already said monty in this topic, reason being, I have monty, a mate has tensile. You cant notice the difference in engagment points and the fact that everyone is saying tensile are the best, I would personally go for the more common one in this topic, monty are very good though.
