pike64421 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 hello all just another easy one for you Right now I am riding a t-pro with an ENO freewheel on the front and running a 12 tooth fixed cog on the rear on a try-all hub. I am thinking of getting either a zoo python or a GU typhoon 20” but none of those have a bash plate so I will have to get a set of cranks and a bash guard. But the last time I looked at my freewheel it had the sticking out bit for the tool to lock in to undo it and that would foul on my hub and wont do up all the way so will this mean I will have to run a left hand drive for trials or is there any other advice because I still want to keep the freewheel as they are amazing thank you all jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey gav Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) the sticking out bits face out the way from the hub, so no worries.you could get some tensiles, with a uci bash and run it up front.

JT! Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) So do you intend to run the freewheel up front, or on the rear?If you want to run it on the back you shouldn't have any problems, apart from the fact that you'll need a 27t cog up front to make the gearing the same. Which really, is a problem.The freewheel goes on the other way round if you were to put it on the hub, so the notches are pointing away from the hub.If you want to keep it on the front, you'll have to get a bashplate for your current cranks. You can get echo and try-all front freehweel bashrings, but you may have some issues with the freewheel rubbing against the BB shell.Either way it's going to be a hastle.

pike64421 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 cheers JT your the man i under stand it now but i have some ONZA crank that i think wont fit and bash but as monkey gav was saying i could always get a set of tensile crank with the UCI bash built on but i am bash happy when i am riding will this be stronger engouht and what Length bottom bracket should i go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ug man Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 get an echo bash they are stroger then the thin ones and for the bb get one thats more than 118 as i have one and my 04 echo cranks and an old megam bash just fits if you may have to grind the tabs off the eno or get a 127.5 mm bb and that will be ok hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think this is the first sensible question Ive seen in NMC for a while The only way round your problem I can see is to change cranks BUT i can't reccomend any as I dont run a bash ring on ffwIm sure if you give this thread a few hours, someone will reply with a crank to fit bashring + Eno. Sorry I can't helpAlternatively, you could scrap the entire drivetrain and spend a few hundred on tensiles + bash + fixed cog + profile rear + spoke + rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ug man Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 i now danko has a set of 05 echos the cheap ones and has a bash and an eno on it and it fits fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I have an ENO with tensile cranks. And there is very little room between the tabs and the BB shell. There is no way that i could get any more than a 2mm bashring on there. And the echo / try-all bashrings are much more than that.I think the only way you could do it is buy getting some cranks like the tensile ones with the bashring already built in, they might just give you enough room because the bashring is intergrated into the cranks.just another easy one for you Oh how wrong you were Edited February 1, 2006 by JT!

I have tensiles with a dicta freewheel (which has tabs like the eno) and im using a 127.5 mm bb i have about 1.5 cm of spare room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tensiles with a dicta freewheel (which has tabs like the eno) and im using a 127.5 mm bb i have about 1.5 cm of spare room.Same, 127.5mm, but an eno is fatter, and i thought dictas didn't have notches. Also don't forget i'm talking about the room between my BB shell, and the notches on my freewheel. Not where the frame starts. Edited February 1, 2006 by JT!

pike64421 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 PaRtZ thanks for the complementbut the new echo bb i think is 128mm so i should get abit more room but not much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) but the new echo bb i think is 128mm so i should get abit more room but not muchNope, the new echo BB is for fixed cogs up front only. The way the BB works is the bearings are on the outside (or something along those lines) anyway, this means that the bb shell sticks out alot further that normal BB's. Edited February 2, 2006 by JT!

pike64421 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 ok so you reacon the way to go is to get some tensiles with a built in bash. because right now i have a cheap bb and the freewheel is like less than .5mm away from the bb shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
