somberlaine Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I have a Chris King and tried to look after it but after 6 months it died on me. I can replace the bits I need to but for the same price I could instead but a good freewheel such as the Echo Sealed Bearing, White Industries ENO andTry-All 108.9. I ride stock and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of these. I am mainly interested in how much abuse they can take.Thanks,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 if you got the free wheel, you may need to buy new cranks, bash and wider bb though...i would fix the king, sell it then buy a pro 2t. its alot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somberlaine Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Since this is for a enw bike I can easily buy all the different bits I need to run a freewheel. So just as a comparison, assuming you have everything needed, which is best, King or freewheel? I only ask because there's a picture of the inside of an Echo sealed bearing freewheel which has the same 72 engagement and really deep ratchets which the king doesn't have. It just looked like a more sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 i cant comment on the echo freewheel, but IMO the kings seem to f**k up alot more than enos probably due to them never being actually intended for trials usage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
