Strongest Freewheel

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.
