Muel Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeh not bad, Tensiles better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I guess you are referring to the trials version?I've tried it on my friend's bike. It's pretty good.I'm not sure of the price at your side, but it's worth the buy (my side doesn't have a wide range of freewheels, so WI is good enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeh not bad, Tensiles better though. Are you Dizzy?Eno's are mint, best freewheel on the market by far, such good internals! loved mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Are you Dizzy?Eno's are mint, best freewheel on the market by far, such good internals! loved mine!My mate has had two Enos and two try-alls in the time I have had my Tensile, his latest one started skipping often after 2 days of having it. It stopped though when he cleaned all the grease out.My tensile is 18 months old, and cost £35, never skipped. Bargin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeh of course, they are filled with grease when you get them, I stripped mine because I was rebuilding my bike and cleaned all the grease out. It's rather loud now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather loud now.So I just take my lockring off and take all the bearings out, Remove all the grease and then put the bearings back in, Is that it?

Muel Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 So I just take my lockring off and take all the bearings out, Remove all the grease and then put the bearings back in, Is that it?Take the bearings out, the outer shell off, then the springs and pawls, clean it all and put it all back together. It's a fiddly job, but it saves you buying a new freewheel normally. If it's skipped a lot though, the edges may have been taken off the rachet, so it will never be the same again.

JT! Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 ENO's are the best by far. Heard of problems with all other freewheel, but nothing witht he eno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I hate the common misconception that loud freewheels are better. Ofcourse the Tensile will be louder than the Eno, you don't have a ring of sealed bearings sitting next to the ratchets on a Tensile. Not to mention having less engagements means deeper ratchets an longer pawls, pretty obvious your going to get a louder click, since when has having less engagements been a desireable thing?

Fixed Pants™ Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Mine sometimes skips loads, but it's mainly due to the lockring coming loose. They're pretty good though, 72ep is definitely nice.Scopse, i heard something pretty logical the other week, less engagements = deeper engagements = better?

zoo Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Aslong as you keep it clean (I serviced mine every week or so if not more often) the ENO is far better, but again saying that I regularly cleaned out my tensile and had no problems. But yeah ENO for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I haven't touched my Eno since i bought it new almost 2 years ago. It skipped like no tommoro when it was bedding in but since then it's been better than all my other freewheels/ hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Best freewheel ever, only thing id advise is loctiting the lockring on as they come loose ocasionally. Cheap to repair aswell, snapped a pawl and only cost about £2 to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Aslong as you keep it clean (I serviced mine every week or so if not more often)Are you f**king mad? seriously? No life or anything other to do than fiddle with your bike? I don't even oil my chain (even thats a halfords own chain i haven't got round to replacing yet) I didnt take my Eno apart apart from when it blew up when Elding rode it... i found as many pawls as i could whacked it back together and havent opened it up since. for like 18 months... never skipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Still no pawls... but got new inner core, springs, lockring.... meh cant compain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 My mates one's lockring always comes loose, even with loctite. And it skips all the time, and it's all clean and grease-free.I don't trust it at all. My other mate's Tensile feels way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Echo's are good aswell Almost identical internals to an Eno i do believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleczhikoxx Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 mine is really godd has the odd skip though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Scopse, i heard something pretty logical the other week, less engagements = deeper engagements = better?Not necessarily, once a pawl's sat in it's ratchet it's not going to come out. The only reason you really get freewheels skipping is because the pawl doesn't fully sit in the ratchet, it sort of sits at the top an then when you peddle it jumps to the next ratchet. That happens regardless of how deep the ratchets are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
