trialsinchris Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 is it front freewheel and what tools you need to take one off and put another on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHayes Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) is it front freewheel and what tools you need to take one off and put another onYes, You can put a freewheel on back or front, there isnt a specipic front freewheel.You will need a crank extractor, freewheel tool, vice and alot of leverage hahaBoth tools will be available at your LBS or halfords for about £4 for each tool Also i could give you a complete run through of how to do the process of changing a freewheel.cheers Edited December 18, 2005 by bllend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 wait for a while the tensile one will be coming out shortley i think it was said to be around 30 quid. its seams really good. 60ep and really a nice solid feal(none of this flapy acs shite).if it ever comes out....- er. have you got cranks that will take a front freewheel? - the cranks on my da bomb wouldn't cos there was no thread. and..You might find the one on the back wheel is an acs claw so you won't need to buy one.don't forget to threadlock/weld the lockring on or you're going to be tightening it up every 200yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey gav Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 think you can buy an acs claw already welded from selectbikes and tarty have started doing them saves you getting thread lock and is a bit stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el curevo Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Can't be bothered to read all that sorryIf you get the ACS Claws, get a welded one from either Selectbikes, or Tartybikes.If they're not welded, they tend to fall apart, and basically explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
