Muel Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) I have just bought the new Echo 6061 cranks (thanks to everyone for the advice by the way!), and I now am looking into buying a new freewheel as i don't much fancy running my welded ACS Claw (which is knackered). So I am wondering which is the best free wheel to get for under £40. The tensile one is looking quite inviting, but after all the help with my cranks I decided to check on here first.If there are any better than this can you recommend where to get them from because I have only ever ordered from tartybikes.co.uk.Cheers!The only other option I have found is the new monty freewheel but I have heard that they aren't that good.Monty: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2153Tensile: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=398 Edited December 5, 2006 by KuelMuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 There's a few freewheels out there now. Under £40 i think your best bet would be to go with the tensile. Not too sure about the monty ones yet, but they seem like a scaled down try-all freewheel.I'd say tensile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTop Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Tensile is really good, in my opinion there is no differences with Eno Trials.Except the price :^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 The tensile freewheel isnt all that my brother has one and all it does is slip get the eno or try-all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 the tensile freewheels are really good, amazing quality for the price too luke and mark have been using one and its pretty much 100% reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woftam Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 had tensile and try-all. tensile skipped, try-all was worth the extra money as no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 with a £40 budget i would say the tensile is the one for you.a few of my friends have one and they seem to do a good jobJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I might be able to stretch to the Try-All, if I get enough money I'll buy one, if not the Tensile! Thanks for all your help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'd say anything you've heard about monty freewheel's may not be relating to their new one, they have had a few other one's re-branded but they were just Dicta's and acs really. The new one, as jt said seems to be a copy of the try-all wih less engagement's(stronger drive shell than try all due to larger teeth maybe???probobly negligable anyway)I'd say in your budget if you wan't to be able to open it up and service it get the tensile, if you have maximum engagement's for your money then it's the monty for you...
