Miss-Higgy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Going to be running truvativ cranks with a 22t chainring. Opting for a fixed rear wheel and rear fitted freewheel. There's quite a few freewheel makes out there and very few i trust Does anyone have one sat there there they are willing to part with. Or can you point me in the right direction of something worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Don't they make a 16t WI Eno? Edit: They do but only in a 36 engagement point version Edited December 11, 2012 by craigjames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 For the price of a fixed hub and freewheel you could pick up a pro 2 off ebay which is gonna be generally a safer purchase. I was advised against going down the 16t ffw as they're not great at the best of times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Why not 20t chainring with normaly 18t freewheel on rear ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Because that's totally different to a 22:16 ratio. EDIT: Lucy - my brother's had a 16t Viz freewheel on the back of his Inspired for ages. Seems to work fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunt man t Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 so is a rear freewheel definally a no go then? Don't they make a 16t WI Eno? Edit: They do but only in a 36 engagement point version but does'nt 36 engagements on the back equal to more then 36 on the front?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 16T on the back are fine; it's a cheap, solid, reliable, high-engagement setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not really for a 24" bike, and definitely not for an Inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yea which is far to hard for trials 20:18 is light even for a stock and a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 For give me I was thinking trials, most freewheels over £9.99 should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 not sure if serious or trolling? I ride trials with 22-15 so 22-16 will be fine. Try and find someone with an Inspired who is wanting to upgrade to a Hope hub and see if they'll sell you their freewheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 For give me I was thinking trials, most freewheels over £9.99 should be fine I hope this was said in jest as people are gonna be getting warns about this. Riding an Inspired doesn't mean you're not riding trials so any comments giving this opinion will be classed as flaming and dealt with accordingly. Had enough of this us and them mentality regarding what trials is or isn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 For give me I was thinking trials, most freewheels over £9.99 should be fine Many of our customers who ride the newer compy-style 24" bikes use either 18:13 or 18:14 (when using 'normal' length cranks anyway, I know some riders use 160s/165s with 18:15 but they're very much in a minority, and almost all the newer frames are designed around 18:14). 22:16 works out as being between the two of those. As proof of that, 18:13 = 1.385, 22:16 = 1.375, 18:14 = 1.286. As always though, you clearly know best Dave in spite of a shitload of evidence to the contrary. EDIT: It's also not particular common to run 20:18 either, as that'd work out being light (it's effectively 16.6:15), which is why most people ran 22:18 or 20:17. But yeah, you know best Dave, you know best... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials hoe Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 halo do a 72ep one in a 16t option. cant vouch for any kind of quality though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I was thinking 26" as she mentioned those cranks Wasn't thinking about 24" gearing Any 22-19 or 20-17 was always the gearing used for trials many years ago when I first started, way before you knew what trials was so don't give me this know it all shit. And if my original post wasn't any use to the personal who started the topic. Never mind as your clearly just looking to show how above me you are.

Mark W Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Enlighten me Dave, when did I first know what trials was? I don't think I'm 'above you', I just think you're a tedious, argumentative fanny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
