Perez Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Does anyone used this one? I currently use the Echo SL, never skipped, and i love it, but im going to buy a new one, so i was wondering about the Try-All 120.9. Should i change or just stay with the same? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Why get a new one if you love your current one and it's never skipped on you? Bit silly really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perez Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I want to buy one new because i want to give this one to a kid here that does not have money, and i want to help him out. And i change freewheels every 6 months as well. Im happy with the SL one, but if the Try-All never skips too and the feedback is good.. Why not trying more engagement? Not so silly.

stirlingpowers Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Got one, light rider but chain killer, classic trials only, three months old now, bedded in by rolling around for one hour on a hot day: Skips once every 1 or 2 hours since new, didn't change. Never skipped under heavy load. Relatively silent. Edited September 23, 2013 by stirlingpowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 They just click. Not really skip is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlingpowers Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm pretty sure it gives in when making this noise. But I will check this and post once I have made my mind up. As I said, it never happened under load, so one wouldn't feel a forceful movement when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlingpowers Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 The freewheel did it today while I was balancing on the rear wheel preparing for a sidehop. I had the brakes off and held the bike just with the pedals when it happened. And I can now say for sure that it skips and does not only click. The skip is small, as it is a 120 freewheel, but it is there. It didn't kill my balance, however, three degrees of crank movement is just too small for that in a relatively static move.

dave33 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ok yes I see what your saying. It's like it's just on the very edge of the tooth and does quite locate and "skips" to the next which is very hardly any movement. But it's always under no load? I'm sure mind does that some times but it's so small it doesn't matter But yea your right. I kinda class a skip as some like crank moving a fair bit. Kinda like what happens when a chain snaps. I suppose that it's got more potential to cause damage to the next tooth on yours. Yea I'd stick to echo over try all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlingpowers Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 It never happened during liftoff for a serious gap. It occurs mostly when I prepare a move (but that may be just a statistical effect of the total usage time of the different phases of trials moves). However, I had a few during a height-oriented coust or sidehop - where the force on the pedals is in the medium range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkdougie Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 My mates used to skip all the time it was awful. Stick with the echo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perez Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I did stick with the echo, all the feedback i got was not good enough to change it. Over the SL maybe only the Echo Ti one. Anyway thanks for all the info guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Dosent jack carthy and all the others sponsored by tryall/koxx use tryall freewheels though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alle.C Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I bought mine like three months ago at the BWC in Blansko. It started skipping during the first training and has done so ever since... ^^ Though I opened mine up, before using it, and changed the thick grease for thinner oil, so I could just have failed when putting it back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlingpowers Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Dosent jack carthy and all the others sponsored by tryall/koxx use tryall freewheels though ?

SamKidney Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Last time I saw Carthys rig he was using an Echo freewheel.. even used a Tensile 96 at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
