Sucram Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 hi i havent got alot of money so i was wondering what is the best freewheel to buy for a lower price? i want to gap further and higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt! Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) well, i would suggest a white indutry but thre quite a high pried freewheel,or even a tensile, but if you are lookin for a low priced freewheel i would suggest a "ACS claw" there good for the money, ive had about 2 or 3 of them, but you always have to keep tighting it!

ben Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 iv had 2 acs claws and they seem to realy last with me when i get them i take them apart and grease them with carbon grease (made for cv joints) then i loctite the lockring when i put it all back together. you can also weld them id sugest this if your running it as a front freewheel.ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 get a tensile freewheel if you cant afford it wait alittle while longer till you can rather than getting a acs, as the tensile freewheels are much better. they are £36 posted by tartybikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucram Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 so do you think a better freewheel will help me to gap further ect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 not realy. other than feeling nice it doesnt make all that much diffrence i mean some freewheels have a mushy feel to them but i wouldnt have thought that would be holding your gaps back to much at this stage i mean if its skipping its deffinatly time to get a new one for saftys sake. hat have you got now a dicta?ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 so do you think a better freewheel will help me to gap further ect?No.Tensile seems to be the best choice if you won't want to be splashing out on an ENO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_OCP Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yea i would think tensiles are a good choice, its still cheaper than an eno. however im still happy with my ACS claws, value for money and they can last for quite a while if you maintain them well...

Maximus Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 deffonatly Tensile i have ridden both, really why dose everyone think that the more money you pay is equal to quality, has every one forgot that Tensile make the best cranks don't you agree? for a start the Tensile is totally trials specific. it sounds better and is a lot less hassle, with an eno you have to de-grease them every month thats 12times a year. choose Tensile also there is a 2year crash replacement worenty with Tensile not eno,,!bye the way a BIG DO NOT USE ACS!

piperpa28 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Like everyone else if money is a problem, just stick with the reliable ACS claw, or if you got a bit of cash to spend, go for the eno, you cant go wrong with them!

Guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Guys, the dude specifically said he didn't have alot of money, and most people are suggesting the most expensive?In theorey, the more engagements you have, the better power delivery(so possibly better gaps), if you know to preload your freewheel, it shouldn't make much differance.I've come to the conclusion that ACS are shit, after riding my try-all for a bit the lack of engagement's really sucks. If I has on a budget to replace my try-all i'd be going for a tensile, they also have a new competition freewheel coming out soon with 96 engagements, that might be worth a look.The problem's as I see it with ACS is the lack of Engagements and the lockring coming loose, it's not a trials specific freewheel though and is only a tenner.The Tensile would be grand if there were no issues about it loosening in the same way as an ACS, Maybe OBM can set us straight on the current state of play ragarding this......The Try-all which I have been using since they came out, won't loosen, ever. I did have problems fitting mine but other's have had no such problems. They are available now direct from Koxx UK or through Trialsman Ebay shop. For some reason tarty wern't able to get hold of them as early as cleanbike's......It doesn't come with the sexy box, or fitting tool, so keep that in mind if you havn't allready got one?I havn't any experiance with the ENO, but it's not for those on a budget. Superior build quality from what I can see, and very easy to service and maintain.There is about 11 pages on the Try-all freewheel in the news section of the forum, I recommend reading through that...

ZOO!PYTHON Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 hiya, deffinatly recommend the Tensile-Freewheel.

mrBENN Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I would recommend the Tensile freewheel because i've just got one and they sound nice feel nice and smooth and ride absolutely superb and there excellent for money!

The Duck Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) I run a Try-All freewheel . I like it, we'll have to see if it lasts more than five minutes. But to be honest if I was buying a new one now, I would get a tensile. They are great value for money and they sound better than sex! Actually thinking about it the engagement clicks on my freewheel are quite quiet... TENSILE! Edited September 22, 2006 by Mr_Tensile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I am going to buy Tensile freewheel...36 £ And combine it with dmr revolver hub...and then i have a lovely rear freewheel you cant run the tensile on the rear, because they are front specific.
