Kasper_B Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hello there.. I own a Monty 219 kamel from 2009. The freewheel on the bike is quite worn and needs to be changed. I would like to upgrade the freewheel to a better one with more inner teeths and more engagement points, but with the same number of outer teeths as the standard one (I can't remember but im pretty sure the standard freewheel has 18 outer teeths). I dont want to spend more than about 40 british punds. What would you recommend and where to buy? (Has to be shipped to Denmark) Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 your not really gonna get alot for £40, if you want a good one the sl is the way forward, but that will set you back £60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could stretch the budget to 60 Im sorry but im still a newbie in trials, what does sl stand for and can you please link to a shop which sell that freewheel? And a bonus question , does every freewheel has a standard thread size to match the wheel or!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 go second hand, you will get more for your money. Try the local freewheel meets or eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 You mentioned screwing it to your wheel, the sl won't be compatible due to its reversed lockring which enables it to be used on the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 If you don't want to spend more than £40 you could get a tensile 60 click, very reliable and value for money! Don't worry about engagement points as you are only a beginer so it wont matter that much unless you really want the engagement then you could go for the 96 click for an extra £10. Also everyone is saying that the SL is really good but i have to disagree because the newer SL are no where near as good as the old silver ones as ive gone through 2 Newer SL's in just over 6months plus the tensile has replaceable parts unlike SL's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobby trials Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 a sl will work fine on a wheel as long as your thread size is 1.37" x 24tpi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper_B Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi all. I bought an SL at the time, but because of me hurrying I thought that my standard freewheel was 18T. I was wrong, its 16T. My freewheel is placed on the rearwheel and the SL would give me a shitty low gear ratio. I could then replace the front chainring/crankset to a bigger one but instead I returned the SL and bought a ViZ Seventy Two (recommended by tarty). I couldn't find much info about the ViZ but this freewheel seems to do the job for me. I have ridden the bike a couple of times since I replaced it and Its definitely much better than the standard one I had before. Thanks again for all the answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Why would you change good freewheel for something worse if it doesn´t even sort out your problem?Viz is 18t too isn´t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure i understand you. Would you say that the standard freewheel on my monty 219 should be better than the ViZ?! The ViZ you can get in 16T and 17T too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Nah, I thought viz only produced 18t version, if it´s 16t than it should be all good for use on hub, just make sure you flush excess grease out of it first with some gt85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
