Skoze Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) I'd be with you on the try-all, mines been nice to me all year, great engagement speed and is very fairly priced in my opinion.Or if you really want to splurge some money, go for a White Industries ENO, less engagements and pawls than the try-all but still has 72, so more than the Tensile! It is also fully serviceable by the rider, which is nifty.It depends on your budget really Edited December 22, 2007 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i don't really no how much money i am going to get for christmas and i need to buy forks, bars and stem really.CHIGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 after e-commuting to the tarts, id have the viz, its only £5 more and sounds/ looks like a good component. same engagement as the eno aswell whish is a really nice freewheel. Im not sure if its just the people i know being pro bike breakers or do the tensiles tend to skip after a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 if your on a budget go for tensile my mates has one and its lasted him around 8 months and not even skipped once still going as if it was brand new and thats with some abuse by bashign and gernaerally twating it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_RIDE_ECHO! Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I really like the look of he new viz one on tarty, i quite like the gold! But i suppose in the end it is not really about the look it's the strength and how long it it generally going to last?CHIGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Tensile, British designed, over 7000 sold now in two years, fitted by four bike manufacturers as original equipment,fully servicable and all parts available, new distributors worldwide being appointed almost weekly . But then I'm biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Tensile = Very reliable. Some spart parts available (pawls, springs, bearings)Monty = Also very reliable, a few more engagements. Can't get spares.V!Z = Same as Monty.ENO = The best if you can afford it, every single part available separately.I use a Monty and its great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boswell Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Tensile, British designed, over 7000 sold now in two years, fitted by four bike manufacturers as original equipment,fully servicable and all parts available, new distributors worldwide being appointed almost weekly . But then I'm biased.They sold so many because Onza cheaped out £15 and used Tensile freewheels instead of the far superior Try all ones!
