CC12345678910 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 So i've had a try-all freewheel since early march-ish and it's well and truly dieing (Slipping, Skipping, Making noises @ least 5 times a ride) & i'm after 1st choice. an SL 2nd choice. any of the 72 EP freewheels (RockMan, V!Z etc but not monty).Recommendations/review links please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 For an Extra £25 or so I'd save and go for an Eno. It's well known for it's reliability where as the echo's only been out for a few week/months and I've heard no reviews my self. I'd play it safe. Just my opinion, obviously.

Bigman Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 From what I have heard the new echo freewheels are VERY good! So i would say go for the echo, although i have heard that the 108 is quite a stiff freewheel due to all the pawls, where as the 72 (TR) is much more free.....Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I believe tarty adam and some of the sponsored riders will be running them soon, although thats from memory on a post ages ago. However, im running ENOs on mod and stock... cant fault them at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I believe tarty adam and some of the sponsored riders will be running them soonYeah, Ali's had one on since the first day we got them, I'll be sticking one on my bike once my hand is up to riding trials again and Stan's gonna put one on his new build when his Sky frame arrives.

CC12345678910 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Cheers 4 the help peeps. Unfortunately the bank statement says I can't have an echo one so i'm gonna go for a rockman cos it seems the best 4 no money. Moderater can close now.

AdamR28 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Could always consider the TR, it's the same as the SL just slightly lower quality finish and 72 engagements instead of 108. Loud lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) do u think thats better than the rockman?I could mabye strech to v!z if thats better. Any chance of a discount? Just kidding. Edited July 20, 2009 by CC12345678910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger allen echo Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Have you never thought of getting a Tensile ffw? Cheap and cheerful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 My monty is better than my mates tensile by a long way!Is his tensile knackered? I had two bikes at one point and had a Monty on one and a Tensile on the other.The tensile was louder, felt stiffer and didn't skip at all, whereas the Monty skipped a couple of times in the two weeks I had both mods.

CC12345678910 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've had a tensile before as I said above and I want something different. I've ordered a TR Anyway so it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itstroy08 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 My Try-All is skipping like mad, but the EP kicks in right away, so its asif it doesnt skip atall.Its strange, im probly going to but the ENO when i get the cash to.My try-all was bought at christmas and skipped occasionally. and yesterday it was like 4 times, i am quite worried that its going to die soon .
