Krisboats Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 As for the using them for street. I think it's funny how people say "don't use FFW for street because the chain always spins." Funny thing is, 99% of these people saying that, they're feet never come off the bike unless they're bailing, and at most doing crank flips. I think the implication is that street riding generally flows more and to do so you are rolling most of the time, rolling into spins, rolling in manuals, rolling up to bunnyhops. This means your chain is spinning round far more than someone who goes round doing every move from static in the more TGS style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Little off topic but can you have 204 points of engagement in any freewheel/hub? As i have just seen it says the profile elite hub and it says 204 engagement points, and i just wondered if that was even possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Canham Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Im running a profile at the minute and want to go to front freehweel. But i think i would need new cranks as i dont think there is enough room for the freewheel. So at the minute im sticking to freehub, but i think FFW is a better setup.

But i think i would need new cranks as i dont think there is enough room for the freewheel. So at the minute im sticking to freehub, but i think FFW is a better setup. I went from profile to ffw on my old mod. It was the best thing i ever did. I think it gave me 60 more EP's and you can really feel that difference. I did have to change my cranks and ofcourse rear hub though, but still think it was worth it. Bike felt soo more more balanced after that too, because Profile's ain't that light. I also run front freewheel on my current mod. I'm using the Echo SL and what can i say, this is the best ffw money can buy imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
