bike_dummie Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Out of my experience, trial tech 108 are utter rubbish, skip all the time gave it a week of normal riding around 2hours every day to bed in and still skipped from the start. If I had to say anything good about it it would probably be that it had minimal drag compared to my current echo sl. I have also heard rockmans are the same. have you thought about getting an white industries eno while echos are out of stock? heard there pretty strong and reliable just slightly less engagements. Edit: just seen impulse to a 108 freewheel? Edited October 14, 2011 by bike_dummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 The Trialtech will have had less engagements as they seem to have a bit of grease in them from the factory (whereas Echos are basically dry). If you thin that out it gets them a lot louder and gives them much crisper engagement. We had to sort out one recently where someone was having some problems and when we took the grease out of it and lubed it up with some thin chain oil it was a beast.

Jamie_Trials Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I've had 2 Try-all's and f**ked them up so that's a no no. The Rockman one, I had it and it was quiet the whole time, but never lost engagements. Then my friend got the same and it's lost so many engagements since. I'm not sure on the Trialtech, but being trialtech it's probably decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
