zoster Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 hey, http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/FWHA716K i stumpled upon these freewheels but i didn;t find any info on them on thsi forum. judging by their specifications, they seem trials-oriented... has anyone tied them out? PS: these hubs look pretty nice as well (don't really know if they are for trials threading standard though) : http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/HUHABT2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 wouldn't trust halo's freewheeling mechanisms after seeing my mates spin doctor f**k up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 freewheels by itself have shitty quality. echo tr(only TR and SL not Ti) has good mechanism but it can crack in half because of bad heat treatment. tryall=pure absolute hundred percent shit. tensile may be good if degrease it befor using. as you can see - most of trials freewheels is shit. so what do you think non-trials freewheels are?

AdamR28 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Looks exactly the same as the viz and rockman 72 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Looks exactly the same as the viz and rockman 72 to me. You reckon it's just another catalogue product? freewheels by itself have shitty quality. echo tr(only TR and SL not Ti) has good mechanism but it can crack in half because of bad heat treatment. tryall=pure absolute hundred percent shit. tensile may be good if degrease it befor using. as you can see - most of trials freewheels is shit. so what do you think non-trials freewheels are? I'd probably trust tensile freewheels the most, or maybe ENO. either way most front freewheels made for trials are bogus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Alot of the trials freewheels are bad enough so i wouldnt trust a non trials one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbikingnunn Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 id say echo TR/SL are your best bet, had mine for a year after buying it of my mate who ran it for a year also, still going strong on my other friends bike now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But about tensile - I destroyed mine in 5 weeks, totally. Edited September 15, 2013 by clerictgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yep it's a catalogue part. Weird how people's experiences of products vary so much...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yep it's a catalogue part. Weird how people's experiences of products vary so much...... Just bad/not so good quality and different circumstances (sand/salts/dust). And also the obvious - someone ride, someone not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I like tensiles but it annoys me a bit how 'blunt' their pawls are. In comparison to echo etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosifpete Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Anyone used the halo/viz/RockMan and have an opinion on them? Currently have a onza 30 click and I would like something a bit faster to engage. i do have a token freewheel on a town bike I could use if anyone knows anything about them. I’m not sure it will be up to trials abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
