Walleee Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I wonder how many people think i've f**ked my try-all reading the topic title.....Anyway, I haven't, but a guy got in touch with me on OTN and I can't answer his question so am referring it to the crack trials team here.Try-all obviously wont loosen on cranks, while an unwelded ACS most likely will.Can the try-all be fitted on the rear without fear of it's coming loose? and the ACS is designed for use on the rear? So it shouldn't loosen when used on the rear, correct?thanks gayo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The lockring's on the otherside of a Try-All compared to a regular freewheel, so the only way it could come loose on the rear is to actually wind the freewheel off. If you've ever tried taking a freewheel off, you'll know it ain't easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I always thought it would loosen itself like ACS's do on the front?As the lockrings on ACS's are 'normal' threaded, so they undo on front freewheels becuase..........blah....So as the lockring is reverse threaded on Try-Alls, it would undo itself on the back? For basically the same reason as the ACS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The lockring on the Try-All butts up against the crank arm/hub though, which is what stops it coming loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 would just like to make it clear that the try-all freewheel comes with a washer which goes onto the thread before the freewheel, this washer doesn't touch the lockring, meaning the lockring can thoretically come loose.

Im asking about having both the ACS and the try-all mounted on the rear.The tensile's are ment to not come loose with the lock ring on the same side as an ACS, but I remember at least one in particular who's didnt.....

Mark W Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ahh right, are ENO's, Tensiles reverse thread? or the same as Try-Alls? Enos aren't, but they don't often come loose 'cos they're sealed. Tensiles are reverse threaded, so you can service it without having to take the freewheel off 'n' so on.

poopipe Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Enos aren't, but they don't often come loose 'cos they're not shit. Tensiles are reverse threaded, so you can service it without having to take the freewheel off 'n' so on.the try all wouldn't come loose on the front anyway. The lockring is on the other side so even if it were as shite as an ACS coasting along would tighten it upbut...If a try-all were put on the back it could easily suffer the same problem as an ACS does on the front - except that the lockring would be butted up against the hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 only that it isnt butted up against the hub. it has a spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) only that it isnt butted up against the hub. it has a spacer. against the spacer, which is against the hub = it's not coming loose.and you call try-all the spastics?
