Netherking Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 hey i've been riding rear freehubs all my life and just wondered what people thought of changing to front?? i'm sure can't be only person loli know it would probably look pretty crazy for a while(chain moving while you coast) but this means i could run a tensile on the front instead of a ACS Claw..... which would be nice. cheers harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netherking Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 i run a tensile on the rear.. works fine.i heard that they undo quite a bitbut i just worked out how much i might possibly get paid and might do it proper and get the trials pro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Trialsin Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) or just wait for a chris king wheel to come up on fs/wtd thread, just had a quick look and there is one on the first page 270 wheelset, could offer on just rear though.

mat hudson Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 i've been using a dmr hub (that are extremely good actually) with an eno on and it's been completely flawless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yeah, revolvers are nice. If you went to a FFW then you could just screw a fixed gear onto it, rather than getting a Zoo fixed hub. Personally I'd stick with the revolver and fixed front, and just get a new rear freewheel, like a try-all 108.9, TrialsMan have them/can get them in 16,17 and 18t. I haven't had a problem with my ACS on the back yet, but I look after it well and have modified the springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxyfin Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 i agree with the others, dmr revolvers are quite nice.. theres not really alot to go wrong with them. my tensile is starting to skip a little, so dont really know what i would do to clean/remove/tighten it.. but i would recomend sicking with a revolver, as its quite solid, and if anything goes wrong freewheel replacement isnt too costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
