AdamR28 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 The are identical construction, the only difference is the colour and the welds to ensure the lockring stays shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Think its high time that trials companies start developing 120 click front freewheels........if the technology is there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I hve a distinct lack of knowledge when it comes to freewheels, but this new welded one... Does that mean you can't take it apart? What if you need to service it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the lockring on the out-board side of the cranks too, meaning that to come undone it'd have to physically un-wind the freewheel from the threads too? I don't get why they've done that at all Made sense on the ACS Claws, but not on these, especially as these are 4x the price so you'd probably wanna get in there at some point to give it a thorough clean? I know a GT-85 spray-through works pretty well, but even so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 The try-all freewheels did have a problem with the lockring coming loose, and they were a b*****d to get to to tighten up again.The only problem with the spot welds, as has already been mentioned, is that you wouldn't be able to take it apart and service it.Saying that Tank had a dead ACS that was welded up, but a bit of wd40 squirted inside and it sorted itself out.

Adrian J Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 quick question for those of you that have tried and tested the monty 221 ti 6-pawl freewheel, is it any gd?cheers adrian j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 i have been running the silver welded try-all for 5/6 mkonths and i has NEVER skipped EVER! Without a doubt the best freewheel i have had. No need to take it apart really just spray and blow through with an airline. Sounds the nuts tooxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Think its high time that trials companies start developing 120 click front freewheels........if the technology is there....What's the point though? I very much doubt people using i.e. TryAll freewheels wish they had more engagement points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'd rather have to move my cranks less than a degree more, but have way, way better reliability, personally. The 96-click Tensile was pushing it in terms of getting consistent, reliable engagement, so why bother risking your own safety just to have a few more clicks? I'm sure if Try-All could've done it, they would've done by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the lockring on the out-board side of the cranks too, meaning that to come undone it'd have to physically un-wind the freewheel from the threads too?I think that was the idea, but if the face of the freewheel with the lockring on was right up against the crank or bashring, the outer part would rub as it went round, hence there being a gap.
