N22CK_C Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 At the mo I have t-bird crank set but last night had wee pedal about on my mates bike with a freewheel felt so much better so in the not to distant future want to up date the cranks and get my self freewheel question is what you guys running.Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah definitlely upgrade mate, the gearing ive found with t-birds and t-vees is very light so gapping and blunts are harder to do at a higher level so upgradeing to maybe a 18:12 ratio will definitly help you become a better rider. Also buy a decent freewheel which good catchpoint so it makes you put more power into the pedalstroke.Freewheels such as the:TensileTry-allMonty Echo ENO white industriesthese are the ones to go for - depending on your budget Im currently running Tensile cranks with a try-all freewheel and felt theyre quite good.

willy wonka Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 tensiles are cheap and dont skip often or get an eno if you want the extra engagement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I have a tensile freewheel and there awsome. GET ONE! Goodluck with whatever you buy. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N22CK_C Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Cheers everyone was going to go for the Tensile just need to decide on what cranks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Freewheel wise i'd go for the ENO every time. I've heard stories about tensiles, montys and try-all freewheels not lasting at all in some cases. But never heard anything bad about ENO's. So if you can stretch to buy one of them it's a very good invetment.As for cranks, the echo / zoo etc cranks seem to be the best out there at the mo.

T.McMillan Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 some mates use tensile they are good for the money, or if you dont mind saving go for the ENO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsychem Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Try-all freewheels a good deal and the Echo 6061 forged cranks are also a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsychem Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 everyone has to upgrade sometime so you might aswell, and the try-all freewheel is a good deal with 108 engagements and the echo 6061 forged cranks are also a good buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howard-moon Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've just got the try-all 108.9 freewheel. I know it's a little pricey, but it's worth every penny.It's awesome, best that i've ever ridden.Really responsive, and makes certain tricks so much easier!
