psycholist Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Seconded - Easily the best made freewheel out there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Eno's are really good freewheels.I'm running a try all freewheel at the moment and I've had no problems whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 as above...eno's are great but i'm currently running a try all and it seems fine been through 2 and a half enos btw...they don't last forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I can vouch for try-alls too!Mine lasted a good year and a half, and is still going on another bike (nearly two years now, was one of the first/ second batches of them)Only reason i'd go for an eno is due to the quality and the fact you can fix them when things go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'd get a Tensile if I were you, mine will be 2 years old in a few weeks and it's still going strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Eno's are really good freewheels.I'm running a try all freewheel at the moment and I've had no problems whatsoever.Same, however I have heard good things about the tensiles and I would say that they would be more reliable than the try-alls as the machining tolerances do not need to be as fine, also if they do go wrong they are more serviceable than the try all (then again so is everything alse).

Its swings and round abouts really. If you want a hell of a lot more engagements though go for the try all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 My Tryall is the tits, pisses all over anything else ive had (hope xc and bulb, chris king, eno, acs, profile)Quick tip if you do get one, spray a little bit of WD40 into it from the off, this thins down the grease and makes them far more reliable in my experience, mine has only skipped once since doing it, not like it mattered cos it engaged so quickly after I would probably avoid the try all if you intend on going through lots of deep puddles and ride in places where fine grit can get into the freewheel, they arent exactly well sealed and cant be serviced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 tryalls are a no!! If you want a reliable freewheel with a good amount of engagements go for the tensile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Where's Scotty Evil1 when you need him?... The new Onza/Tensile freewheels that he's testing sound completely nuts. Sounds like they've crammed the workings of a small crane in there or something. However, not sure when they'll be available. Personally I'd save a little more and get an Eno. I run one on each of my trials bikes and have never had a single problem. The one on my Monty's now over 2 years old, has been abused to the max in comps and is still sweet as a nut. Worth the premium in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 pay more for an eno, if you're really struggling for funds then tensile is a great freewheel for the money too!steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Beach Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Try-all 108.9 or tensile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Same, however I have heard good things about the tensiles and I would say that they would be more reliable than the try-alls as the machining tolerances do not need to be as fine, also if they do go wrong they are more serviceable than the try all (then again so is everything alse).That's a good point i'd say. But Eno freewheels are sweet. Besides £70 isn't really allot when you look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Getting another monty freewheel wouldn't be a bad idea. They're excellent, probably better than an eno in my expereience. James B just went through a try-all freewheel. He said they all die relatively quickly if you intend to actually ride them. His only lasted a few months...

N.Wood Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I've seen Try-Alls die in around 3 months. And theres nothing you can do about it because you can't get in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsy trials matt Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 had pretty much all the freewheels ecp for the eno's the eno's are great as they can be repaired, ive been using a try-all for most of the year ( the new silver model ) and had no probs what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
