trials13boy Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 hi I'm getting an Echo team at Christmas and I was wondering which freewheel I should go for as I'm not sure if my mate has changed it from the broken one. I have narrowed my choice down to four. Here's a list of them;Tensile freewheel.Monty 221 Ti 6-Pawl.Try-all 108.9.White industries ENO Trials.

Otacon Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Tensile freewheels are great. I've used one before and had no problems with it. Many of my friends have also used them and had no problems.I've also used the Try-All freewheel and the White Industries ENO.My Try-All exploded within a weeks worth of use, i was extremly disapointed with that.As for the ENO, Over-all a brilliant freewheel. I just found they required to much maintence. I got fed up with servicing mine, so it eventually exploded one me.The Tensile though, required no maintenence and just worked.

Jaffacakes Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 If you can afford an eno get one!I had one for around a year, and I dont remember it ever skiping. They do like their services though.But solid as rock and 72eps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan S Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Do a tensile if you short on money. really good one. If you don't give a damn bout the price - get WIET. Just the best. As said - lasts ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby-Rider Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Im running a tensile at the minute! been running it for about 4 months of so, no skips and no problems! Derby-Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 If you buy a Tensile, strip it down and clean all the grease out first and just lube it with WD40, they are built with far too much grease from new and it sticks the pawls down.I had a Monty for about a month, they're not too bad, I just didn't like it because it didn't feel as solid as the Tensile.My mate has had two Try-Alls, neither managed to last longer than 6 weeks.Enos are great, but they need a close eye keeping on them because apparantly the grease oozes out of the sealed bearing over time which can stick the pawls down and make it start skipping.Personally I'd go with a Tensile every time, it cost me £35 2 years ago and I've stripped it down twice to relube it after really muddy comps, it does skip occasionally, but only when you don't let the pawls fully drop into the rachet.

Nick Manning Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I've used eno's in the past. I had 3, 1 on my stock and 2 on my mod. I had 2 on my mod, because the first one broke, it broke because I didn't checked the cap and it gradually unscrewed until it came off and so did the body of the freewheel.I'm currently runnung a try-all freewheel which is second hand, I've been using it for a month now and had no problems.

RETROLEO Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Tensile freewheel.best price aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrAsHeR Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Seriously can't go wrong with an eno.Their the best freewheels I have used so far, never skipped.Also all the bits in it are replaceable so if the bearing brakes you'll just have to buy a new bearing.Unlike other freewheel that will need replacement.
