Try-all Freewheel

Will it not come loose as it is opposite thread? :huh:

Yeah, it could, you should get a lock ring if there's enough thread left basically as you would put on with a track cog. The tensile is threaded backwards (because freewheels really are made to be used at the back...) so it can be used up front without un screwing. But then again, if it's tight enough, it shouldn't come off as other freewheels don't fall up front...

wtf??

Is the threads not the same way on all freewheels???

The freewheel will fit fine all freewheel threads are the same so dont worry about that at all. What was being said above is about the lockring comeing undone but if the person your selling to uses a acs they need not worry it will not come undone. As a acs freewheel was actually made to be used on the back. Different freewheels have the lockrings screwing on different ways. A acs was made to be used on the rear so the thread on the lockring was made so it wouldnt unscrew itself and thats why when it is used on the front on cranks it does unscrew itsself. A tensile freewheel has the oposite thread to a acs because it has been made to be used at the front on cranks so the thread is oposite so it doesnt unscrew its self.

that's way off.

the freewheel screws on the same on hubs and cranks, it's right hand thread. anything else would be retarded.

the lock ring however, may screw on either left or right hand, depending on the freewheel. doesn't matter that much, keep it tight and threadlocked and it'll be fine either way. I used normal ACS freewheels for ages on the crank, just needed tightening every few rides.

A try all won#t come loose regardless of where it is., the lock ring is on the opposite side to an ACS, so it would unscrew onto the crank arm or hub.

Looking at mine, it's really not going to happn in reality, especially ween used with the supplied spacer....
