kick-this Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think you will find that most people run a acs claw freewheel, there good enough too last and even if they don't there cheep just buy another. I use 18 on the front so i can't really awnser your other question >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I've never had one on the rear befor i'v always had one on the front and they always break if you land on them so they will be good on the rear i surpose i think if you have the money get a profile a lot better and more reliable and not to mention the engadgements ;) >_< rickyb (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom s Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) thanks guys anybody got any other suggestions apart from acs aaround the 30 price steve ← To my knowledge, there's no freewheels in that price range. Its jumps from £11ish for an acs claw upto £80ish for a white industries trials freewheel. There is another white industries freewheel, which has 1/2 the engagements of the trials model, giving it the same EP as an acs claw, and runs off four pawls, whereas the trials one runs off six. I'm not sure about the price of this, but it is available from the coust site ( I think). Edited September 2, 2005 by tom s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Tom Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I've had my ACS claw since the bike show and i think its a really good upgrade with more engagements (36) and is really cheap. I have never had a problem with mine just kept riding it I would get one and the sound quite loud! Hope this helps, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 you should get one because it makes it easyier to ride because the 22 18 gearing is very fast. getting a 16 tooth acs on the back will also make it simalar to the 18 12 gearing that people with front freewheel usually go for.I had a 16 tooth on the rear and had no problems with it at all :) get a 16tooth ACS claw :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayn3 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 It depends on how many tooth you have on the front.because if you have a 18 (like i used to run) it to easy to pedal, making it hard to gap ect. The ACS never broke though so if you get a 20 or 22 tooth front cog it should be good.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownbike Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I know all you guys are Mod riders but, can i run this free wheel (acs claw) with my single speed converted hope XC hub. (i ride stock (26" :D )) I was talking to Steve (guy who posted (Y) ) :) , and we're both not really too sure on how to do this....or if it's possible????? Well bad boi Steve has more of an idea than me. He says i need a new hub :D Any info would be nice, Neil :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 i run a 16t acs on the front and ive found it excellent aslong as you make sure you keep the lockring tight. mine barely ever skips/jumps when i pedal. really reliable i think.

A hub with mtb(135mm) spacing with this facility is the dmr revolver single speed hub, available from chainreaction.

wilky_mod_legend2 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 As far as acs claws go there brill!!! i run 18 on front, reckemend them anyday :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeass uk Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Yep, i rode on acs 16th on my onza or a while. Awsome freewheel i ran 24 16 or something like that. Its actually quite a good idear as you get more engagement points as you are running a rear freewheel; i'm not sure how many though.
