josh p Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 OK! I have an Onza t-lite and my freewheel keeps skipping. Is it worth getting an Eno freewheel (trials 1)Or is it worth getting a whole new wheels with cassette hub, and if so what hub and what rim (not so worried about weight just gotta be strong)Please help!

mat hudson Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 if i were you, i would wait for the tensile freewheel. 60 enagement points, feels like an eno, 30 quid i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike64421 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 well mate if i was you i would go for the ENO freewheel, because they are good value for money and i have had one for about 10 months now and i have never had any problems, had the odd little skip but that was the just jumping when it was not in the ingagements right but all hubs and freewheels do that it's nothing but they are good jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I would get a tensile if i were you. I have a ENO and its great, it was skiping a bit but I cleaned it out and it dosen't anymore. It feels really solid and the extra engagements make a suprising difference.

Dan6061 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Just typed out LOADS then, and it didn't come up Anyhoo...I'm guessing you have an ACS.Have you ever serviced it?Basicaly, take it off (or just crank arm) and take off the lockring.Lovely, bearings and everything to play with.Take it all out, but keep it all clean and safe.Clean out the body of the freewheel with kitchen roll/cloth etc.And clean out the bearings etc.Coat it all in WD40/GT85 etc too.Then put it all back together.First put it all in the body.Then start with the springs, then the pawls (think thats what they're called)Then the bottom side of the bearings.Once they're all in, do the same on the other side.And then put on the lockring.For the lockring, it's best to either Locktite it on really tight, or weld it.Personaly, I'd weld it. I'd trust it a lot more staying together. Now you have it all together, spray loads of WD40 etc on it, and it shouldn't skip.If you've buggered it up - Profile and an 18T cog for rear cassette, ENO (72ep) and your current 12T cog, or wait a while and get the new Tensile freewheel (48?ep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 isn't oiling the freewheel with something thin like wd-40 the worst thing you can do you'se a thick grease oiling it makes the freewheel skip more notice the lack of noise in the engagements.

Using thick grease makes them skip I use WD40 in mine, it's fine. Occasionaly skips, but nothing major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
