Alex Dark Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm thinking of changing to front free wheel.I currently have midleburn cranks which I really like. - If they work...keep them i sayI have a monty (FSA) ISIS bottom bracket and my current gearing is 22tothx18tooth - is the bb 128 mm? if not youll have to change it....22x18 = 18x16ishI been looking at the try all ones and also monty ones. freewheels? tensiles your best bet by farWhat is the score with bashrings? err....They fit between the crank and freewheel...certain bashrings are too thick for certain cranks thoughOpinions on FFW compatible cranks and gearing would be sooper. Best I've ever used are echo cnc'd , 18-16 gearing is pretty perfect....18-15 if you like it heavier thoughThanksMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'd stick with the Burns, they're amazing cranks.Just get a 16T bash for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Thanks for your quick replies guys.Alex, Ive got a 124mm bb I think. are you talking about the Echo SL or just the CNC ones?Muel I love my middle burns but the problem is with my back hub. I think I need a fixed gear on there so obviously I can't use my middleburns.It's not the gear size I am concerned about.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Just by a freewheel hub! Going to be a similar price by the time you've bought new cranks a freewheel, bashguard and possibly new BB. In fact its probably cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm not worried about ze cash. The problem is I just bought a hub, A Rockman hub, and when you put the freewheel on, it sticks out tooo far so the wheel dosnae fit in the dropouts.You see, so I wanna buy some new cranks to have a FFW setup.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 And also, how do you get the free wheel tight on the crank?Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 And another thing, how do you stop the freewheel from unscrewing itself?Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 It's a clockwise thread so pedal with your brake holding your wheel and it will tighten itself agains the cranks and, it won't unscrew itself.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
