am4zin Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I think you need to buy cranks that can take a front freewheel as well though, so need to add that in to the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I believe then main advantage would be cost, a £60 eno freewheel offers the same engagments as a £299 chris king...er.an £85 eno (green one) offers the same engagements as a king - except it doesn't cos there's the gear ratio to take into account.
