shetlandtrialsrider Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi, I am having problems with my front free wheel it is the one that comes with the onza t-pro. It has a tight spot so when i pedal it goes tight then lose. Can i fix this or would i be better to buy a new one, i was thinking about a tensile 60 click would that fit??

TROYston Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Every ffw has this problem, its due to the threads. Or, possible a really bad chain line or bent teeth, get a 60 click or a sl, and never look back, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 It's probably your cranks as much as anything - some cranks have the threads not perfectly concentric, so you'll get that 'wobble' in your chain tension when you spin your cranks. I've changed cranks 3 times over the past few months, and every time there's been different amounts of wobble. My Atomz cranks on my Premier were nuts, just seemed to get a bad set that had a massive change in tension. So yeah, changing freewheel probably won't really do all that much in all honesty. If it's not changing tension massively, it may be worth trying to live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant even spin the cranks backwards to try and do crank spins they just stop in the same spot. thanks for such a quick reply lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Knackered ffw then lol, if it comes apart, you may be able to save it, but its easier to by a new one to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sounds like it's the cranks to me, not the freewheel, although are you running an ACS claw? I'd change the cranks and freewheel sharpish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know some good cranks which will work with the tensile 60 click or other??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Anyone know some good cranks which will work with the tensile 60 click or other??? Pretty much any FFW crank... Try-all, Echo CNC both seem very good cranks...I run the Echos with no complaints whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Didnt Tpro's come with a tensile 60 anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
