t-comp-kierz Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I am thinking of getting a new freewheel and I am wondering whether I should get a profile or get a echo sl freewheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Good question, I take it it's on a mod? If so definately go front freewheel, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 SL though thats just because i prefer the weight more central on the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 The make profiles with disk mounts but I dunno if I will even go double disk now Look at the pros and cons of them, more pros and less cons than there are on maggys. Just get an sl, save £100 or so and make an awesome bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 i would just go ffw, much more engagment points more reliable and cheaper to buy/replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN ?? Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) unless its a king get a freewheel, had so many hubs blow up on me i loved my pro2 but iv just had it with it breaking all the time now and iv decided to get a freewheel on my stock fixed rear hubs make for a well solid wheel aswell due to the wide flanges and the SL is probably the best freewheel out there atm or so iv heard and they sound mint Edited October 1, 2010 by WIGAN ??

philgresty Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Only freehub worth running is a king, had mine for about 8 months and its amazing, never skipped on me, parts are expensive but serviced everyso often and itll last a lifetime. feels really solid where as freewheels seem to feel a bit flexy under heavy pedaling, if you can get one id defo recommend over any freewheel, sound crisp aswell also if you change the hubshell to the iso one you can run disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
