Walleee Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'll hazard a guess and assume you mean in terms of a rear hub? I prefer fixed rear hub but I'm not sure that's what your on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm guessing he is talking about rear hubs, but yeah, if you search there have been quite a few really, really big posts about FFW vs. freehubs which would probably give you quite a lot of information about the two of 'em.

ogre Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 i've had [imo] the best freehub+wheel. [eno+pro2] i prefer the pro2 by miles. can use a shorter [therefore stronger bb] the chain moves less when your riding normally + freehubs sounds ace.

TOBY-E Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Ive had a eno and currently running a king, king wins hands down, i had nothing but trouble with the eno, it used to skip like every day the king hasnt skipped once since i got it 7 months ago. (touch wood) you can also go alot faster with a free hub which is good when riding home. Edited June 29, 2008 by TOBY-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'm inbetween the two I like a 'FFW' screwed on the rear hub - my ratio is 24 : 18, one advantage of using freewheels are they're alot cheaper (maybe not in the very long run, but it'd take a while to destroy like £300 pounds of freewheels - instead of one Chris King!)

Danny Kearns Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 It depends. I voted freehub cause' im now a stock rider. However, If i've said it once i've said it a thousand times. Fixed hub on the rear with a freewheel up front on a mod. Free hub on the rear with screw on cog on the front on stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Free hub on the rear with screw on cog on the front on stock. Screw on cogs are the stupidest idea ever Who thought it'd be clever to thread on a part that undergoes such amounts of torque as that? Trials specific kit (Deng/Try All etc) would be far better if they ran the same sprocket spline as a rear hub with a lockring, though obviously this'd mean a bit of work on the method of mounting freewheels (not that that should cause a huge problem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Oh yeah, don't get me wrong they work, but as chainrings are designed as a (relatively) replacable 'wear and tear' style part, it's kinda wrong to make them nigh on unremovable! Splined front to match a standard (HG style) freehub would give far simpler removability, plus keep the full range of gear options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splined front to match a standard (HG style) freehub would give far simpler removability, plus keep the full range of gear options Great idea! It would be simple enought to start making 'casette style' freewheels (instead of 'screw on') - and it would make it alot easier to get them back off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
