Waynio Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 108 click Freewheel from "Try-All"Giacomo Coustellier had one on his bike it sounded sweet and was buzzing like a bee all the bloody time, its expected to be "Around" £65/75 price TBC!!!!!but i think this could take over the ENO and possibly the Tensile freewheel.its got a similar system to the tensile freewheel BUT has 108 clicks :S its designed purely for "Front" freewheel use therfore will not come loose or something like that.Waynio..............................

Mark W Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Should be interesting seeing the inside of it. I got told that apparently they're thinking of making a ninety-something click Tensile, but I don't know anything about the inside of that either...

trialsguru Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 was that what it was, lol i wonderd why it was buzzing like that, thought it was an eno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 he had it on in Marseille when i went the other week with ben savage, but i didnt know 100% what it was so didnt really want to say anything, the stuff that Giacomo was doing on it makes it look STRONG as hell, static sidehops and huge gaps and taps etc, the power that lad has got is amazing!!!! its run on open bearings NOT sealed like ENO (i was told)Waynio..................

CBProductions Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Let our hopes and prayers be answered , It's nice to see freewheels progressing as I do like them a lot Nice one for the heads up waynio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Freewheels ARE progressing, if only people would put some sealed bearings in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 QUOTE(deanie-b @ Apr 3 2006, 04:25 PM) ←Sealed is where it's at Yeah, becuase it'll be a bitch when you need to replace the innards.Can't really beat the tensile becuase it's going to be so much cheaper. And really if it has less than 3 pawles engaged at one time, i wouldn't touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 seeing the way giacomo was riding in france, i wouldnt have second thorts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Sealed is where it's at you cant have everything in life Freewheels ARE progressing, if only people would put some sealed bearings in them it would be kool to see sealed bearing but it may then add to the price problem. but it all depends on whats inside t, it will probably have a million pawls and springs who knows but 108 pick up. chris king???? time will tell though eh. i would probably get one on my new Belaey when it arrives, have a try @ front freewheel. JUST to see if it is as good as it is on paper.Waynio.......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thats insane, although im probably going to be buying the 60 click tensile which will be more than enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseface Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 i reckon it will be bought by only those who have money to throw around...others will go for tensile/acs/eno steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 It would take me around 4 weeks just to save up for that much It'd be worth the wait if its as good as you say i reckon it will be bought by only those who have money to throw around...others will go for tensile/acs/eno steve. Cheaper than the eno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Sounds good, i wanna see some pics of the insides. Its gotta have about 6 pawls, in sets of two on a 36 click ratchet? If so, profile, but better!As long as they dont skimp out of quality it will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 the bike pimp will buy them, like the people who HAVE to have the most of everything, the most pickup can mean everything to lil tommy or lil charly. its nice to see the freewheel market progressing, it will be good to see who can design one like a "Silent clutch" BUT that doesnt have the spongyness of a silent clutch.time will tell im sure fred savage will post up with details of all the new stuff from koxx days when he gets back. il "hype" it all up and someone can fill in the prices Waynio............................

ogre Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 On the mention of freewheels when is the tensile out, and how will it compare to the profile, and can you open it like an eno (i dont know to much about freewheels, just how they work, not how all the number add up). Also me and my mate were talking about biking (as you do in double english) and were wondering if you would be able to have the pawls on the outer ring of the freewheel(where there are normally slots for the pawls to engage in), have b*****d loads of them (because of the space) and have them engage with the part of the freewheel where the pawls normally are. (sorry for the terminology lol, i think it made sence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Im ready to try one out. after seeing the amount of abuse i saw the big bois stick there parts though ive regained some confidence in them, still think there twats with the prices.

Hobnobs Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 These sound extremely cheap for what they are though... I would have though more of £100+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanie-b Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I would have though more of £100+Yeah, Considering as it is a KOXX\Try-all product.They'd charge you to take a piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 If you think though, seeing as it's open bearing, the shell won't take much to manufacture, the pawls and springs won't take much to manufacture, and it wouldn't take much to put together in general. If you look at the Eno, the reason it costs so much is that they're all machined out of top quality metal, incredibly well, have sealed bearings, and the main bodies are pretty much a work of art. Therefore, you'd sorta hope it'd be cheaper, really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) wondering if you would be able to have the pawls on the outer ring of the freewheelThey do have the teeth on the outer ring , the pawls and springy bits sit in the middle. ok, blind conjecture time... I figure they're most likely to increase the engagement by adding offset pawls rather than trying to fit extra tooth thingies in. If you only relied on 2 pawls engaging at once you could do it easy - You could probably convert an eno to 108ep if you indulged in a bit of jiggery pokery with a grinder.edit:Ah yes, if you read the thread properly you can see that hobnobs already figured that out Edited April 3, 2006 by poopipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Pawls, y'say?On the outside, y'say?No, not a freewheel, but you get the point.The Tensile is open-able, but I'm pretty sure 9 times out of 10, I'd rather buy a new freewheel rather than open an open bearing freewheel. The Tensile should be more stable than ACSs, so it'd probably be easier to work on, but still, it's gonna be a load harder than servicing an Eno. I'd compare it to solving a Rubiks cube blindfolded to stroking a cat.EDIT: The whole "Pawls on the outside" thing sorta seems sketchy to me, almost... like when they're on the middle, and they spring out, they spring out at an angle and point straight into the ratchet naturally, whereas with that hub it almost looks like it's sorta being bent backwards more than going naturally? Hard to explain, but meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
