AdamR28 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The 20" ones have been pretty reliable actually, I would say 80% are fine. The warranty still applies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) The 20" ones have been pretty reliable actually, I would say 80% are fine.

Matthew_Gibson Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Heard mixed reviews. Some people swear by them, some people hate the. If you have the coin, get either a profile or a king (only if your minted)What about fixed rear, and get a free wheel on the front? Had Tensile freewheel on both my mods and felt as good as my ProII Never skipped once. Cheap as chips too. I had a go on my mates bike. That had a Try-All one on. Felt like it was going to skip, and was too quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 i actualy agree with dave , if you look at the construction of the adamant freehub its nearly identicle to a profile hub . the main reason the stuck hubs exploded was because the forces being exerted on the rim were mutch greater which tore the driveside flanges off and cracked the hubshell .

psycholist Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) So far both freehubs and front freewheels have been dissed, not really helping I think... A friend of mine got an adamant rear freehub recently and has had no problems (Once he tensioned his chain correctly to stop it skipping). I've been running an ENO since christmas and again have had no problems. Given the threads on Hope Pro II's exploding and that Chris kings need a lot of stripping and cleaning to keep them reliable, the simplest solution is probably to take up a different sport .Nothing on a trials bike is unbreakable, but most of the stuff that claims to be designed for trials (By reputable companies) tends to be pretty good for at least a year of hard use. At least if you know other people using the same parts (And keep an eye on the forum) you'll get some warning if there are known specific reliability problems with different parts.
