Yeah, it should work both ways from what I can tell. I'm gonna be chucking them on my bike in a few mins so I'll try and grab some pics...

'scuse the wanky brake setup. My rim's just right for fitting in without the offset, but I wanted to get a pic of it on bike. They work both ways though, so if you want to wider/narrower than a Try-All you're good to go. May even be able to resurrect stuff like the DX-32s and we can all rejoice in tough, light-ish rims that hold grinds :P

The one with the dark tip? It's just a spot on marker pen :) I don't know why it's there, may have been to tell it apart from any 60-clickers lying around, even though the mad loud sound this freewheel makes differentiates it.

Bondy - I ran my Tensile for 6 months with no problems. Skipped once or twice, but that was about it. Easy to service with the caged bearings, even though I didn't have to strip it during the time I ran it :) It was still going after the 6 months, it's just that they got released and I got a reconditioned Eno cheap off Edd Potts (Y)

Any ideas when they are going to be available to buy Mark? :)

Until some spokes arrive for me tomorrow from Tarty so I have a rear wheel, I can't really review much. Tart told me he liked the pads but they wear out pretty quickly. Slightly harder than CRMs I'm told? Either way, I'll let you know about the pads + freewheel ASAP...
