Muel Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have had a Tensile on for 7 months, by crank hasn't had to come off yet, and unlike my mates ENOs and Try-Alls, it has never skipped, not once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsychem Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Get a TRY-ALL, their £50 but well worth it with 108 engagements and 9 pawls...http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/category.php?id=16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaMmY Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I think i would have to agree with the tensile votes they are good freewheels as my mate runs one hasent broke on him since he got his t-pro early this year!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 spend £40 and get a echo 18 tooth its mint , (i have one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam O Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Get a Tensile freewheel or if you can't stretch as far as £35 then get the ACS claws. I have had one for a few months now and it has never skipped. If you can go to £50 then get the Try All 108.9, even if that does skipp you can barely tell!Hope I've helped.

eskimo Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Second hand Eno. Service it and it should be working good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEden Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 just helps knowing becuase you might go spend your money on somerthin crap!!you cant realy get a freewheel brand new that is good for that price but you should get the tryall freewheel on www.tartybikes.co.uk for £50 but look on the forum for second hand ones but then you will have the risk off it slipping more and no warrenty with it ussually.

RossMcd Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) I have had an ACS claws for six months now !!! It is the welded one from tarty and it is suprisingly still going strong. It has only skipped a few times but nothing major. though only time it was not going well was when I covered the chain in WD 40 and it got in the freewheel. it soon wore off though. I think I might consider getting a Tensile soon though. Edited July 16, 2007 by RossMcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexGalTay Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 tensiles and try-alls are good approx £30-£50 though.. maybe if you shop around cheaperTay.. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty M Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ive had my tensile for two months and ive had no problems with it at all one of the most reliable freewheels around!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 OK i have had my tensile for a while now and i have to say i think i have been unluckymine seems to skip a lot, but that might be due to a few other things like my cones on my rear hub come lose and the wheel has some free play from side to side.getting my wheel sorted should have it back tomorrow also my rear sprocket is worn quite bad so might replace that as wellthen fingers crossed it should all be good again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris13 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 in not wanting to start a new thread, and similar topic. what do you guys think of the try-all 108.9 cos when i get my A1 i think it would be perfect.my mate has a tensil and it is pretty good, cant really tell it from my acs though.

Echo-Scott Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Tensiles are great freewheels. My mate has had one for quite a while now and it is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 spend 35 and get a tensile YUP! I agree get one. I went from an acs to an Tensile and I love it. Feels so much smoother and no skipping. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
