Mark W Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 FFW's the lightest set-up, quite often the cheapest, and works really, really well, especially with all the really good freewheels people are producing these days (Tensile, Try-All, Eno). Pretty much?I'm guessing you're more refering to mod usage, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 If it's just when you're rolling along, keep your left leg at the bottom of the stroke? Alternatively, just use any excess from your shoe lace to tie around the bottom of your right trou' leg? Alternatively, try and work on the bond with your bike that I have with mine - it doesn't f**k with me, I don't f**k with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatprodude Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 tuck your trousers in you socks or get like an arm sweat band and put it round the bottom of your trousersi have a profile, but i want to change back to freewheel as its alot cheaper, and like mark said theres loads of good freewheels out which have more eps than my profilebut still the profile looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonn h Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Rear free hubs are the best in my opinion.I have tried freewheels in the past but they just feel weak and flexy after say you have been running a profile.I`ve never since i bought my profile had to take it apart for any reason.There well worth it .

Ben Geary Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Allways ran a rear Freehub and allways will, i love my King to bits and will never go to anything else, from what i've seen of FFW so far it seems like bad idea, my mate runs a Eno on the front with Echo cranks and a Echo bash and what he has been though with it it's a bad idea to go FFW if you want to change, not saying FFW is crap ... it could just be him, becuase he doesn't really have any good luck with bikes .His Eno has had new pawls put in, new service and still yet skips like a bitch ... also the freewheel didn't really fit right, he had to grind down his bash, file down his BB and do a shit load more to make it fit nice, and still it's a very tight sqeeze and his BB is at the longest. Rear freewheel seems good, my mate runs a Eno on a DMR revolver hub and he's not had any problams with it at all, nothing ever comes loose and is allways running spot on.I've heard quite a few bad things about FFW but also i've heard good, personally if i was to run Freewheel i would run it on the rear just to save any hassle.But i don't think i'll ever run a freewheel anyway, i've allways ran a hub and i prefer the feel of a Hub, rear freewheels feel really solid and mega hard and i don't really like that i like a bit of sponge there if you know what i meen, not like a spongy hub or anything but my king just feels softer at the pedals compared to a Eno.
