old_man_dan Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Im looking at getting a tryall 108.9 freewheel and im wondering how good they (reliabilaty/strength/pickup ) are and who has had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie East Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Have no personal experience myself, but know a few people who have them. They do have a tendencay to skip, think its because they've tried to squeeze to many engagment points in, resulting in a weaker freewheel. If i was you i would stick with a 72 engagment point freewheel, there more than adequete.Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatrip Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 my mate had one for 2 days and started skipping but sstein on here has had one of ages just get a tensile or monty freewheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis-Trials Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I heard there not good and not very reliable, Just get a Tensile there cheap and last longer and sound good aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liviu Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I had a try-all fw for 2 months and it skipped a lot,and in one day at a gap it smashed finally and only luck made to avoid a face plant now I have a monty fw for 4 months and I like it, don't skipped even once! my advice:don't buy a try-all fw if you don't know a good face repairman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've got one, and it must have skipped about 6 times today, I wish I had a Tensile, all of my mates have them for front freewheel, and they've got no problems with them. I'm going to get one as soon as my try all explodes. Kiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 my mate had one for 2 days and started skipping but sstein on here has had one of ages just get a tensile or monty freewheelyeah I have used one for a while and I am not a smooth rider or a light rider. Hasn't skipped once, engagement is insane, feels nice and runs smooth (even though I run a very tight chain). I'd say go for one, but there are very mixed views on them.
