downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 i only know 1 person to have f**k a tensile freewheel (if looked after) but i know anout 20 people to f**k the try-alls within the first couple of weeks/days. (they all use tensiles now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've ridden a try-all for 10 mins and it's ok. Feels just like an ENO.Dunno how long it's gonna last though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Nile (add about 5 random numbers after his name and you've got his forum name!) killed his in London, it just completely f**ked up, wouldn't spin without a massive effort, think the bearings must have gone, but yeah, that's not good, doesn't mean that every tryall 108.9 is gonna kill itself though.

steve@banbury-trials Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 i've had my 18t try-all freewheel since tarty started selling them (god knows when that was ) .the engagemant feels really nice and responsive but at first it made me feel like the gear ratio was harder than usual so it took a little while to get used to it.the only problem is that it doesnt engage evenly anymore,by saying this i mean the engagemant is really close at some points on the freewheel then the engagemant isnts as close (could possibly be the pawls ?).im going to get another try-all freewheel in the future for sure ,it'll probably be a 16t one though.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 i went through 3, they all broke within 2 months, proper shite. i have an eno now, far better and can be taken apart with ease to service it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticker Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've had my try all for a few months now and its ok although it does make funny noises every now and then.A lot of my mates have had these and destroyed them after not much use.I would get an eno as i have heard good things about them.

tmks88 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 My try-all freewheel worked great for 7 months then suddenly one day it started to stuck when i used more force on it than just pedaling, after gaps or sidehops it just stuck quite hard and i had to pull it back...i would open it if i knew which way i have to open the lockringIve got an ENO now and it skipped after 3 months then i cleaned it and took off one blue bearing cover because it was a little damaged and works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Mate has one! seen to be good! not loud enough though! I had a few lil ride on his, engagement seen solid. Never skipped anyway! dont know how old his is. My tensile fells a bit shite at the min, skipped when put lil pressure, Cleaning it when I can get it off!!!I'd still vote for tensile, cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I ran a Try-All freewheel back when i rode my Zona Zip. I must of used it for a good 6 months. Put it through quite a lot actually. It was still running smooth as anything when i sold the bike on. I personally felt it was an amazing freewheel. It skipped on me once on the second day and then after that. Never skipped again.However...I am now running a Tensile freewheel...To be perfectly honest with you, i Can't feel the difference in engagement between this and the Try-All. This feels just as responsive and still has a really nice noise.I would go for the Tensile to be honest with you though. It's cheaper and still amazing .Danny.

mods Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 mine has been really good. But then i'm not a hard rider and don't do anything that massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
