hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Im just wondering about running a fixed hub on rear, some front freewheel - probably Tensile, and a Rohloff chain tensioner.Will the chain tension be ok and aligned easily, and also with Tensile cranks, will I still be able to have a bashguard and a freewheel?Lastly are there many stock riders with front freewheel?

ilikeriding Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I know im not answering this very well but to be honest you could get a pro 2 2007 for a similar cost and save the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant H Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) what if he's using a 116mm spaced frameand its cheaper if it goes wrong (replacing a tensile would be 35 quid, instead of 130) Edited May 27, 2007 by Grant H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hope will repair (service) for free but if you want the internals replaced it will cost £30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmarks2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 if you want front freewheel on a stock you have to have tensiles (or some other cranks that will allow a freewheel and bashring)i was going to buy some with a bottom bracket then i saw a pair of tryall rims on pro2 07 for £10 less so got them, now i wouldnt change for any sort of freewheel becouse the pro2 sounds great and never skips!!

ogre Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 yes you can, all the koxx bikes come with a ffw and your setup will run fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hope will repair (service) for free but if you want the internals replaced it will cost £30.Pretty sure its free. Especially within the first year of riding a pro 2t.If its an XC/mono then yes, you'll have to pay £30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rholoff tensioners mount on the mech hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
