dave33 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 onzaboy mark was testing them a couple of months ago, think he broke one or two but im sure he will post here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 One of them broke, but that was 'cos there was some fault with the material. The new one's got some uber hardcore hardened steel for the main body (think ACS Claw, not Dicta...), so all should be fine. Engagements are perfect, only skipped after the main body died (again 'cos of that material defect), and that was once >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Not really, no. Sorry. It's just one of those things - gotta make sure they're strong enough >_< This is apparently the final production model though, so it shouldn't be too long, touch wood...

TomN Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 60ep wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 60 engagement points, 2 sets of 3 pawls. £30-ish, they're hoping for. Bit of a bargain :huh: First batch is something like 75% 18t (lockrings threaded for FFW usage) and 25% 16t or something like that - I think Mike said it in an earlier thread if you try tracking them down. But yeah, work faultlessly, all good. Feel super solid, just like an Eno. All good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Just to put the record straight, the freewheel has been an ongoing project now for over two years and has always been at the forefront of our development ideas. It has however gone through several radical design changes during that time and has been also delayed whilst we registered the designs to stop rip offs. As Mark says we now have final production samples being tested and production will commence when we are satisfied that it will meet the rigours of trial riding. If that goes well they should be available end of January. We know only too well the folly of releasing a product too soon and particularly with Tensile products it has to be right before it goes on sale.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I cant wait for this freewheel like, my ACS is going strong still since april, but its starting to get a little bit gritty, i think all the grease has gone lol. Should be awsome this tensile one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
