Revolver Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 The hope is that everyone will start doing this and then the screw thread idea can become ancient history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have a hope hub and now its just the cranks that are a letdown with stinky screw fit cog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Think about how easy it would be to get a freewheel off if it was splined! Word, also I've stripped a couple of crank threads (what a powerhouse eh), this should solve that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 They appear to be in production, hopefully available fairly soon, will be approx £349. I assume that's with a BB but not 100% sure on that yet, details are sketchy as usual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'd hope it's the cranks, freewheel, bash and bottom bracket at that price. I hope the freewheel doesn't skip either or I'd be mighty pissed splashing out all that cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Any word on these acepting a fixed cog ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 £350?!? They better be f**king good then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 If that's the cranks, bb and freewheel its actually not that bad. I think i read that they're supposed to be stronger, stiffer and lighter than normal tryalls with a Ti bb and freewheel. Which when you consider cranks are £100, Ti bb is £120 ish, a decent freewheel is £60, plus alloy crank bolts etc. It's not actually that bad, especially if it a much stiffer, stronger and slightly lighter set-up. Everything new starts offa little more expensive, look at the new Echo SL cranks! Really it all depends on the freewheel and it's reliability....

Blake Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Would be interested in them if a sprocket is compatible. That way I could run it with my pro2 and have a drivetrain that isn't screw on for my mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Seems very unlikely they'd do a fixed sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 it does look a lot like hg splines but they will probbably be 100% different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Fags, they should use the shimano standard. So what if you have to license it from them, this is the way forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 A fixed front sprocket/rear freehub isn't really the way forward for trials though, so it's not too surprising they don't care about the few people who might want to run a rear freehub. If it means they'd have to compromise the size of the internals of the freewheel to suit a larger spline setup it'd be counterproductive too.

My current setup is a reset ti bb £100, tryall cranks £110, echo sl ffw, £60, and an old adamant bashring which was £10... Adds up to about £280 which I'd say is still quite pricey, but if their setup is lighter than the current lightest setup for a similar price then it's reasonable I suppose.

Anthony Chantrey Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Can anyone shed some light on how these freewheels will remain on the cranks? I'd assume it'll have lockring, but the pictures don't really show any sign of one :/ Something about a freewheel flapping around scares me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a screw on lockring, if you look at the axle you can see the threads. i do believe ive seen a picture of the lockring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I think it's held in place between the BB bearing and freewheel, by the cap on the left hand crank pulling everything together. The Atomz setup has a lockring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah but if that bolt comes loose you tighten it up, you wouldn't ride with loose cranks now so what's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 so if that bolt comes loose everything just flaps about? :'( No, there's a pinch bolt on the left hand crank arm too. And what Dave said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 No, there's a pinch bolt on the left hand crank arm too. And what Dave said oh okay, pinch bolt makes sense. Yeah but if that bolt comes loose you tighten it up, you wouldn't ride with loose cranks now so what's the difference? Yeah but I don't always notice right away when my crank's loose. . .

isitafox Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well then you'd have a good excuse to check before you ride with these fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
