Fish-Finger-er Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Not tried one, but interested to know. Is Bigman using one?EDIT: one thing I can judge it on: looks boring hahaAs far as i was aware Bigman was still running a king, may be wrong though. and when exactly where freewheels known for their funky degisns, it sits at the bottom of your bike covered in either crap, or wd40(depending on whether you under or over maintain your bike) and either works, or breaks your face. In all fairness ive been lookin at building up a bike again, and was debatin going FFW (as ive got the cranks and the bash, and my kings got a home ready for it, can get a fixed hub and a freewheel cheaper) but i think ill let someone else risk their teeth to tell me whether its reliable before i jump in and buy one.

RossMcd Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 All i can say is it looks like all the other freewheels on the market just a different colour. looks identical to the tryall freewheel just with less pawls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'd love it if it was actually a Dicta (Which looks identical to that). 16 quality engagement points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe@Onza Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Not too sure but is it the same one as the Monty / V!z /Worldcat / Neon / Zhi / Rah Rah Rah..........??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 A lack of innovation and originality in the trials world?Surely not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Not too sure but is it the same one as the Monty / V!z /Worldcat / Neon / Zhi / Rah Rah Rah..........???Exactly, which means it doesn't need testing because it'll be alright. We've had so many copies and they're all pretty much the same, the only difference being the amount of lubricant and welded bearing caps.

Muel Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 The Eno wasn't mentioned in the list above. I had a monty for a week or two while I was changing bikes, it was alright, didn't skip but it was really quiet and didn't feel as "strong" as my tensile, when you rolled the cranks forward to engage the freewheel when I was setting up for something, it was much harder to feel if it had engaged properly.

The Duck Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I'm in need of a new freewheel... Haven't touched my bike in well over a month. Been holding out for something to appear on the tarty christmas thing, no luck yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
