Barbara Logan-Price Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 yes, but why would you want to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 No, I tried it once with a eno on the front and king on the rear, the bike had no drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Metcalfe Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Pretty pointless if you think about it.There both doing the same job, Only it's twice as likely to skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack0174 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well already running a ffw but its only a rubbish one so i was thinking of getting a tensile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Metcalfe Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Personal preference really,FFW - Maybe faster to recoil whilst pedal kicking, But chew up your pantsFreehub - Out of the way, Tend to be cheaper, But heavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Freehub - Out of the way, Tend to be cheaper, But heavierYou sure about that one? FFWs seem to give a more responsive feel imo, but i love my king to pieces - feels alt more 'solid' than any FFW i've used..All down to personal preference, and how much money you've got.

Danny Metcalfe Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just Speaking from experience mate,Although it is fairly limited.I thought they were cheaper as most low range bike builds come with Freehubs standard from factory.But obviously not when your talking about king lol.

jack0174 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Got about £170 to spend on my bike but dont want like a king or pro2 or anything like that.I will probably just go for a tensile freewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeeeee Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I prefer ffw. But it depends how money you have to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Do you ride a mod or a stock bike because i have heard that a ffw on a stock is a horrible descision if you like your teeth from what i have heard anyways. I have always had a ffw because i have never thaught about using a freehub ,but it is personal preferance really.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I used both for a while once.What you're looking at is basically a rear freehub, only where as you backpedal the chain stays still so you can't backpedal to get it to engage further back. Also, take the least amount of engagements, be it on the FFW or freehub, to be the amount of engagements you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
