Peter_PR Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 So after 2 echo SL fw broken, I don't know which one could be the next... I've found the new Rockman 12 pawls freewheel, but I can't find any information about, some one know how it works?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 this one? they aren't available in the uk, so i'd doubt anyone will have any experience, i'd be worried about the 144 ratchet points as it's allot of material to take out of the outer ring. and how it's designed to engage. if it's all 12 pawls landing at once it could be amazing as the strain would be nicely distributed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Had 4 prototypes from Rockman, they all skipped but it appears they've been released anyway... Inner and outer bearing races welded to the centre and outer teeth too, meaning you can't get it apart... The mind boggles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think that the pawls landing is distributed by groups, 6 and 6 maybe, like others fw Any other opinion or fw advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 If its a 144 engagement, hopefully it will be decent. But if its a typical rockman freewheel, it'll be shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The welding points may be a way to use less tight bearing fit and thus avoid high bearing friction. They were an attempt to prevent the bearing 'walking' out of the freewheel and it coming completely apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you can't get a freewheel apart I don't see why you'd get one, putting a lot of trust that it's all okay in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which it won't be, as its a rockman freewheel, and will more than likely skip like a mofo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm amazed that some people must have looked at that and thought "yes, I want to sell these and deal with the fallout!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed... all the shops at my countr offers them... so much to think about. Anyway FW market it's so limited, apart from echo, the rest are shit or copies... don't know what fw I should to buy.

dngr2self Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sounds like Rockman had their head in the clouds when they came up with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
