Wow... See, if you go on blithering like an old bag like I did, all the secrets finally come out!

Sounds like a good game plan to me... good job keeping it all so secret.

How much can we be expected to pay for the tensile freewheel...

and can we be expecting a mod 60 ep freehub too? That would be good cos I cant afford a profile...

I saw them (Y) that'd be a bit interesting during some big moves ;)

Oh well, it looks like a zoo, but made by onza, zoo/coust/ashton all came out of the same idea as it works and surely producing a cheaper version is no big deal, just like a black mumba :-

So... Chris King headsets are better than Internal headsets? But internal headsets are still better than normal headsets?

Sounds good, doesn't that jeopardise your relation with CK though?

Didn't Mr King stop warrentying (sp??) hubs for trials use? Seems odd if they did that they have linked with a trials company...

altho that could be the reason (or one of them) for onza developing its own rear hub.

anyhow it all sounds nice and good, they should make a solid version of the tensile bash though, I seem to have put a small bend in mine :-

I wasn't aware they had, I just thought they said that the "trials mod" wasn't really a "trials" mod, if you get me? 'cos how would they know what your hub had been up to?

For example, most trials riders will run their hub on oil, then theres the fact that the sprocket you use for riding trials will have dug into the cassette body a shitload. Also on my old alu shell theres a fair bit of wear on the helical spline, not checked my steel one recently.

Really?  How so?  (Just out of curiosity!)

- Freehub body has abnormal marks (sprocket). Even with a cassette, you get one pronounced bit. Single speed is obvious. Cassette with alloy carrier and XC application - you get nothing, apart from one or two right at the outside of the splines... nothing like trials.

- Helical spolines - more wear than normal (alu driveshell mainly).

- Bearings, usually notchy, from being over tight. Often not bedded in due to not many miles.

- Axle ends usually marked in strange ways, from the axle slipping in the dropouts (when landing hard on bashring).

- Often damage to the left hand side of the hub shell.

- Abnormal wear on teeth of ring drive (more engaging-disengaging than an XC/DH hub).

- Scratched fun bolts (if it has them), with bits of brick/rock/blue paint in/on them.

I think thats it...
