N.Wood Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've ridden the Tensile and the Eno. I like the Eno a lot better, but I'm currently running the Tensile cause I don't have a BB too to get it off. So I'll ride with the Tensile till I get some new cranks. The only thing I don't like about the Tensiles is the way they come off, wish they would have made it come off with a freewheel remover instead of a BB tool.Also, the Tensile is a little hard to ride natural and comp style stuff, but it's good if you mainly ride street like me. But the Eno is definitely the better buy.Could you explain these 2 points to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Could you explain these 2 points to me?Doesn't it come off with a BB tool? In other words, a normal freewheel remover ( ACS, WI) won't take it off. And when you get tight situations the smoothness and ep's of the WI are good. Not saying it can't be done with the Tensile, it's just a little smoother and easier with the WI.

N.Wood Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm sure most people will have access to a bb tool more readily than a freewheel tool.I have no idea what you mean by your second point, once you get over about 50 eps it makes no difference. And as for feeling the smoothness? Pfft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Using a bb tool to take it off makes life so much easier, just stick the tool in, bolt it in, put the tool in the vice, pipe on the crank arm and it come off with no effort at all.I hate 4pin tools, they skip and snap and chew the freewheel up so much more easily.

Julius Czar Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I would have to say tensile all the way.NEONRIDER:)Jjbarrett:)If you read the whole thread, you would know that that freewheel was from a dodgy batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
