MaXsteri Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 So tensile bring out these freewheels which are supposed to not loosen themselves, and two of them have, have either of you not demended a replacement or sent them back to supercycles to have them looked at?Mines on the way back to them for them to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXsteri Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 What happens when the bearings wear and you have to tighten the lockring but can't cause theres a fooking great crank arm in the way? i haven't really read either of the topics so i'm probably either stating the obvious or completly wrong.Try reading the Try-All freewheel threadYou would just take it off the crank arm to do it. Its more hassle but not impossible, as i feel you were implying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Try reading the Try-All freewheel threadYou would just take it off the crank arm to do it. Its more hassle but not impossible, as i feel you were implyingYeah thats what i was on about, i know how much mod riders love taking off freewheels Seems like a good idea to solve one problem but at the expense of creating another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 you wouldnt need to remove something that wasnt causing problems if the try-all one fits on and then doesnt come undone, no problems.but i dont see why this one is coming loose if it was "supposed" to not come loose Waynio.......................BUT hey, we will see, the Try-All freewheels will be at the trial at brimham rocks hopefully on sunday (il remember to pack my freewheel tool and a mini vice ) i want to try one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 i know how much mod riders love taking off freewheels We love it The try-all freewheel has too many EP for my liking.. so do CK's, i just dont really like the feeling of them lolThe Tensile is working amazing, NEVER skipped, thats the only problem iv had with it (loosening) and since i weled it just before, it hasnt loosened... it isnt lots of weld either, so its easy to brake that bit of weld off, and then get inside the freewheel...BUT hey, we will see, the Try-All freewheels will be at the trial at brimham rocks hopefully on sunday (il remember to pack my freewheel tool and a mini vice ) i want to try oneIm doubting you will feel the diffrence too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 hopefully the pick up will feel "positive" unlike what i remember chris kings feeling "spongy" all i like is to ride my bike with good positive engagment that is direct power to the wheel for my wheel to move and spin. iv really enjoyed trying front freewheel and i wish to try more, with the try-all freewheel and also an ACS claw. but my heart has always been in rear hubs, the reliability of Hope for me has been awsum. like the products the company and the service.Waynio......................

JT! Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 But like JT has said the try-all one looks to have the technology edge. i havent seen one or owt yet BUT if the lockring is on the inside "closest to the crankarm" it cant come loose "hopefully"It will be a bitch when you want to generally service it, i thought it was a really bad idea at first but it sounds like the best way now. Have to wait till they come though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 ye wi the servicing it could be a problem, but hopefully you wont need to service it (hopefully) maybe this is why they did it christ knows.Waynio................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
