Nick Melson Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 which would u recommend then?Profile or king so u may as well save your self alot of money and get a freewheel either a eno or tensile or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials-ryan Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Im running both profile and a tensile free wheel but just to tell you that you would be better of getting a front freewheel cause a good freehub cost alot.

Revolver Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Haha i didnt know people did. is there any benefit from that??People don't, no there isn't. The EPs vary from somewhere between the amount of each, to the amount of the worst one. I've done it it wasn't great.Pick a FFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas_trials Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 i use a cheep acs claw. been fine so far, i am only learning but manage to put plenty of torque through it and it copes fine. the biggest problem is the number of engagement points is next to none, so next time i will prop go for one of the ones mentioned above.

ollie55573 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 lol i have a echo freehub and the dogs came loose in it like u said so i just took it apart amd bought new spring clip and now it hasnt failed on me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoots man Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) white industries eno. the dogs. expensive but very high quality and all parts available as spares. king is good but i have had bad experiences with it. very bad. ouch. but others rate it highly. also if you damage your pulls beyond repair or something like that it doesn't mean a wheel build, just whip of and replace (front free wheel or fixed). and king cost a 92million $$$$hoots Edited September 21, 2009 by hoots man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Whats the echo hub like? i was looking at them of engagment good? responsive?Fairly good, reasonable engagement...if youre on a budget, get a tensile and a fixed hub thoughI'm in the process of changing to dual Kings from FFW, i reckon it's worth the investment....

JLKitching Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I ride with a Try-All freewheel and its amazing 108 clicks never skipped, unlike all the other freewheels i have had. Sounds amazing and works amazing 24/7. I would really recommend one. Thanks Jordan x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 HahaOk...When i had mine (one of the first batch of Try-All 108.9's in the country) that was absolutely fine and is still going today, several years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie55573 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i love my hub its very repsonsive and has never once slipped on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caswell_35 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i love my hub its very repsonsive and has never once slipped on meI think i am going to stick with the front free wheel, because they are easily replaced. rather than a new hub and rebuild each time,Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
