DK. Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Guys, need some advice please. Got a fixed hub at the minute with a 15T cog on. Wanna get rid of that cause I want my engagement to be coming from the rear and not my cranks. Only 16T freewheel with 72 engagements is TrialTech. Anyone got any info on these? are they any good? It's gotta be 16T freewheels cause ill be running a 18T fixed cog up front. I just don't like the idea of the chain constantly moving when rolling. That why i want it on the rear. Cheers.

Ross McArthur Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Noise. Wears your chain out faster. Trousers can get caught in the FFW/chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Those freewheel are OK both mine started making noises after a few months though. Second hand hope hub would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
