Laurence--Trials Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm building up a new bike soon and i'm trying to keep prices down: So i wondered if anyone has used the ACS Claws FFW and could give me a quick review / life expectancy on it.

Alex Dark Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Work fine, fairly decent engagements......if youre on a budget or beginner then not a bad choice. I ran one for about 9 months? Still got it and works perrfick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I've had good ones and bad ones- the quality just isn't there compared to the 'proper' trials freewheels. I finally gave up on claws when one lasted me a week. If you can afford something better go for it but the ACS should still do it's job fairly well if you need to keep to a budget.

D A N N Y Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) There about as good as a kick in the teeth, and talking of teeth if you use one of these you'll be sure to loose yours Edited March 7, 2010 by D A N N Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think its down to a combination of how you ride, and if you happen to get one thats been made properlly. Tolerances are all over the place on them. Personally, I would play it safe and get a Tensile or similar. Drivetrain is something you shouldn't really skimp on.

Dan6061 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I had one which was alright... The lockring seized up on it, so it never came loose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
