ruption0 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 tensile all the way plus it sounds nice to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Deffinitly go for a tensile. It is great for the price but if you manage to get more money i would say get an eno because they are really great and if any part of it breaks you can buy spears to fix it.Scott..

JT! Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 All the try-all freewheel i've seen have sounded like a cement mixers. Tensiles seem as bad too. But they're both as much better than ACS's. I'd try for an eno, if you can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whostheman_121 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm thinking of getting the Tensile from what I've heard about it. Go for the Tensile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a new freewheel and bottom bracket. I'm going to get a tensile or maybe a monty pawl cawl if they are any good? I'm not sure what bottom bracket I will get though... Don' want to spend much... square taper also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackF Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have a tensile but i want to change to a try-all since my tensile seems to skip quite a bit in bad places and although it has 72 engagement points i never seem to have the power when i want it so i will say try-all.Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Sheehan! Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Please! Use the search!Try-all are the best i think, best sound by far! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Go for the ACS welded from tartybikes , its cheap and the catchpoints arnt that bad and do the job quite nicely , but i feel its a good freewheel if your on a budget , but make sure you get the welded version as the lockring tends to come loose after a while. However if your not on a budget , definitly go for the ENO freewheels, that sound great and the catchpoints are brilliant , also when theres a problem , tartybikes stock all spare parts for them!Im using the ACS welded at the moment and hasn't skipped once!Nile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
