Joe@Onza Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 60 Click are the older Tensile frewheels, Although they are still available an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh barker Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 im changing my tensile to a try-all 108.9, because just getting fed up of it skipping all the time.but if you do want a tensile id recommend the new one that tartybikes has just got in here: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10937 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not undo the lockring on your tensile and give it a quick squirt with GT85 or someting simular or if your confident with taking stuff a part totally strip it down give it a proper clean and a dab of lube lockring back on nice and tight it should feel brand new agian and save you cash and your face!

And put it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're bad freewheels, but ENO's are soooo god damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonytoon Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 The main thing is maintenance with a free wheel if its worn or damaged it can either be fixed or replaced. There is alot of wear an tear put on a free wheel so keeping it clean internally an nicely lubed an you shouldn't really have a problem.cheersBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 older tensiles are friggin amazing...love mine, soo good, and fairly easy to maintain when necessary....to quote someone off here " try-alls skip like a school-girl on crack" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 what are the echo sl ones like?they are quite new so it´s hard to tell how long they could last, but from what i´ve heard they are very good,TRA also has SL,TR is good too,loud as fook and stiff. I have try all freewheel over year and it hasn´t skipped one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
