Dan-Gadd Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I use a tensile, and for 35 quid it's good value for money considering it has 60 ep's. However if you can afford it i would go for the ENO as it has fully sealed bearings and if you have any problems with it it is most likely that you can get it fixed. My tensile has recently skipped a few times, but i don't want to take it apart because it doesn't have sealed bearings. Don't know much about the try-all but the ENO is definatley the best made freewheel out there . Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 What Bikestuff said - they're really easy to strip I did mine when it was one of the uflly loose-ball versions nad it was a bit of a 'mare, but now they come with caged bearings it's a piece of piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Gadd Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thanks for that pick bikestuff, never seen a picture of the internals. I thought they were the same as the acs loose-ball bearings, didn't realise they came with caged bearings. Looks like they are much better made than i thought.

jmorrill Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 The enos the best, but id bet it costs the most (im in canada, not sure about british pricces). Whats your budget ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
