Recommended Posts

alright iv always fan a casset hub up until 6 months ago when i got my xtp2 witch came with a try-all 108.9 ffw.

i worked amazing for a bit until it started skipping every now and agen.

i sold that and now im building a mod stock so i just wondered witch is the best ffw to go for money aside ?

so what would you recoment ?

I personally run an ENO and like the sealed bearing and rebuildability of the freewheel. However, having had a play with Scott Wilsons bike sporting the (proto) Tensile 96 freewheel I would be tempted to give one a go in the future. They sound nuts with the only negative I can find being the open bearings but then again if you look after it that shouldn't be a problem. They're also fully rebuildable and RRP is only £44.99 I think so pretty bargainous to boot.

hmm, I have never had great feelings for ENOs, sure they are all replaceable and have sealed bearings, but the ones I had still skipped and they have sslliigghhttllyy oversized threads so are more prone to strip than other freewheels (still hard to do though)

it didnt skip loads, but the lockring came undone a couple of times which led to the skips, I just felt more confident with an echo one
