ogre Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 they seem deathproof in my experiences, i'd choose an eno personnaly, because you can replace bits meaning if you manage to kill it (and no one, to my knowledge has munched one?) you could replace parts instead of the whole shebang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Go for a tensile they are really good and hard to kill. Yes you can replace the bits of the eno but it all cost silly amounts of money and you could buy two tensile for the price of one eno. That would last you years and years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcd Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 The internals in the tensile can be replaced aswell though tensiles are more reliable in my oppinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've had mine for 2.5 years now, it's been amazing.They're similar to a Pro2 in that they're fairly hefty and solid feeling things, but they use different sized pawls and springs, and I think the Pro2 has 4 pawls and the Tensile has 6, but they do feel pretty similar to ride.

mr ailsbury Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I've had 2 tensile freewheels, the first one was about 3rd/4th hand and I thrashed it to death but it still lasted a fair while and the one I've got now is running great!Only know about 2 people locally who've had Enos, one literally exploded and was beyond repair after about 1 or 2 weeks of relatively light use and the other just constantly had problems and parts had to be replaced every other day.Go with a tensile just out of interest, why are you moving away from a freehub? I'm building a 26 at the moment and I was going to get a Pro2 for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialZonn Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Tensiles are very reliable freewheels.And I have managed too clean it and replace some springs easily.It hasn't skipped since now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_malcolm Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 i managed to chew through a tensile pretty quickly. skipped loads and ripped most of the internals to shreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 i had one before, then i managed to get hold of a try-all for quite cheap. thinking i would have decent engagements an all. half a year later i cant notice a difference in engagment and its now dieing! tensile will be my next i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can replace the bits of the eno but it all cost silly amounts of money and you could buy two tensile for the price of one eno. That would last you years and years spoke to a few people on london ride who had mashed them pretty quickly, one guess broke in half when he messed up a gap!I've had two, and never had any problems what so ever! When enos start to break its a never ending shit hole of problems.u still got the clip of my eno exploding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
