Freewheel Recommendations?

[dozydame]

It's all down to how hard you ride at the end of the day

if your a smooth rider, get the tensile

if you want a bit more engagement get the monty freewheel but i've heard bad reviews about them

Get a try-all freewheel if your a harder rider. £50, bargain. was expecting it to be at least £90 when it came out.

have a look at the freewheels on this link... i think you should get try-all freewheel because they have 108 engagements and 9 pawls. they are £50 but well worth it .

Just like to say thanks for the many positive comments made about our Tensile Freewheel. Just to add a little to the debate, we spent over two years prototyping and testing the freewheel before coming up with the final version which you see now. As many who helped us in this project will know, we tried out 60 , 72 and 96 engagement versions as well as several pawl combinations. We decided after much checking that the standard version now being produced was the optimum for engagements, reliability and wear life. This decision has proved to be the correct one and demand has exploded beyond our production capacity at the moment. Just to put the engagements aspect into perspective, on a standard 165 crankset the linear travel per engagement on a 60 is 1.72 cms on a 72 it is 1.44 cms, on a 96 it is 1.08 cms and on a 108 it is 0.96 cms. The massive increase in longevity and reliability when dropping to 60 for a minimal increase in pedal take up has proved decisive. As well as being fitted as original equipment on Onza bikes, they are now being supplied as original equipment to both MBK and Atomz/Sunn bicycles and we have lots of other worldwide enquiries coming in every day. Once again thanks everybody for their endorsements.
