Dale-Hill Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 If I had £84 I would buy a new driver for my hub mate.The Echo ones are only £38, and i've heard some pretty good feedback from them in the past.(P.S) That was meant to be: 'Eno F T W' , right?Yeah for F T W Love mine!

omgnoseat Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have been running a monty freewheel for almost a year now, skipped about 5 times total. Used an eno in the past, but the monty feels safer for some reason.Not too expensive aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmackay Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Tensile ftw.I highly reccommend the Tensile 96.Very loud, nice sound. Super responsive, hardly skips, looks awesome and every single part on it is replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmackay Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Echo SL Louder than the tensile, more responsive hardly skips either BUT the parts aren't individually replaceable. Tensile = cheaper, more reliable, ALOT more people have them so they can be trusted. ALL parts replaceable. AND, if you really want a Tensile super loud you can clean it out and stretch the springs, and if i'm correct Echo SL's are welded shut. FURTHERMORE, Tensiles use a bb tool which are much more accessible and most people have one. You couldn't find a freewheel tool for an Echo SL. I win.

I'm sure a normal freewheel tool would work though Edited November 12, 2009 by duncan_echo26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 If i'm able to get the cash, then i'll most likely go for the SL.Don't know why, but a TR seems more appealing to me than a Tensile...Alot of the new bikes Tarty are selling come with TR freewheels now, so i'm guessing they're pretty highly rated.

weirdoku Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Tensile has caged bearings, Tr has open bearings, when you open it for some reason it's gonna be a bitch to put back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladie Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Tensile has caged bearings, Tr has open bearings, when you open it for some reason it's gonna be a bitch to put back together Hopefully I won't need to open it.Open people like fat ginger Tom are stupid enough to take stuff apart just to stretch the springs, just to make it louder.
