Dobbie Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Has anybody else had any problems with the Try-All 108.9 Freewheels? I purchased a brand new one the other day, fitted it and was warned that it needed to be bedded in before proper use as it is an oiled freewheel. So i rode around for a few hours just tightening it up and freewheeling (No trials) Went for a ride the next day and within the first couple of hours it started skipping teeth and continued throughout the day! My friend had a similar problem with his but didn't bed his in first so i thought this could of been the problem but obviously not? I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or can offer any advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 They seem to be essentially the same as the Rockman freewheels, which many have found to be terrible. I'd change it out for an Echo SL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I Can't give a really good suggestion more than try to flush it clean with wd40, spray it into the freewheel, ride it like half an hour (no trial) and then flush it again and it might have fixed it. It did atleast worked with my tensile 60 click that had a shitload of grease in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstant Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 As above, I'd probably try giving it a good flush with a thin solvent lube like WD40 or GT85. Chances are that if you can hear the bearings rattling around, you've got rid of most of the grease. Obviously you then need to re-oil.
