Blake Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Keep well away from the Viz 72 my friend!! My friend had one that skipped from day one :/ nasty little things. As you may know, i've ran my tensile 60 for a few months now and it hasn't let me down once!!!! x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Either a tensile96 or an EchoSl, I've had both and they were brilliant. My tensile only died because it was about 3 years old and I'd stretched all the springs, made it about 3times as loud as my Echo currently is.

Mark W Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 You can make the Tensiles way louder just by thinning the grease out with GT-85 (spray it into the gap between the shell and the body). Makes a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Probably, yeah. It usually goes some way to reviving freewheels a bit by flushing them out a little. If it's totally FUBAR'd then it won't do much, but it can't hurt to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Open it up, take it completely apart, clean everything properly, check how mangled the pawls are, if they arent too bad then stretch the springs to put some crispness back into the engagement and stick it back together.

Mark W Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 You have to kind of work it in a bit by spinning the freewheel outer, but yeah, usually makes a noticeable difference straight away. If you've lost a bunch of engagement points though it might not really do too much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 The only one I've used out of those was the Tensile 60 and I highly recommend against it, I've blown up 2 of them and I'm not the greatest of riders. I quite like my Monty and my White Industries though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
