Tommy d Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Sounds like a funny idea to me.Why not just get the more usual parts like Middleburn cranks and Hope/Chris King hub?Everyone knows they work well, it seems like you might just be causing yourself some unnecessary bother by going for a front freewheel setup...

poopipe Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) hi i just wanted to get people's opinion on a front freewheel on a stock bike? should i get one?thanks no reason why not A friend of mine put a tensile + try-all cranks on his stock and has been more than happy with it since - he said something about it saving weight but I don't understand that sort of business . I wouldn't bother if you already have burns and a decent rear hub but if your drivetrain needs an upgrade then a decent freewheel and a fixed hub costs a lot less than a king / pro2t - particulary now theres the tensile and try-all options.

cvtrial Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'll think to put a front freewheel on your bike would be a success, there's no reason to don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
