Steven Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hi all, I've experienced for 3 month a 108.9... and after many crackings, it just break out under my feet, leaving me bloody tibiae..Thus I am aware of your experience, with other freewheel... before buying one.I know the ENO trial which is the reference for many riders in France... and feedbacks looks good...I know the Tensile (less expensive)-avaible on tartybikes- but I didn't hear anything about it...There is the Monty too... but it seems to be the same manufacturer than the koxx one (108.9).Thank you for helping me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 ENO all the way, never had a single problem in about 6 months, and has only ever skipped 3 times(on the first day, guess it was just bedding in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sUm Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I've had my ENO for about 6 months as well. After I cleaned it out it's very rarely skipped and I've had absolutely no problems other than that. Love the engagement too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David20 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 ENO all the way mate, had mine coming up to a year and its just been ace! Haven't cleaned it out once either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Eno is a f**king awesome freewheel! I've been running one since the summer holidays and it's real good it's really easy to service (theres a guide in faq section by obm if you need any help) and definatley worth the money!

bikerider Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Been using a freewheel for a few weeks and really impressed by it. It actually feels well made as well. I would say it's never skipped, but it did today once right as I was going for a tap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I've had my tensile probably six months and it has never skipped once...I had an eno and i found it was sh*t to be honest....The tensile just feels more solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Changed from eno to 108.9 in July.X 4 world rounds.X 1 British Championship.Months of practice.X 1 U.K. indoor.Still working fine. There are no products that can't be broken - if you try hard enough.Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom-trials Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I switched from an ENO to a Tensile. I hated the ENO it always used to skip and break.Ive had my Tensile 8 months and its skipped twice but were unoticable thus not causing any harm. The tensile sounds amazing and feels amazing well worth the money in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no products that can't be broken - if you try hard enough.Ben.Already, thanks to all the answer...Ben : ok I know that... I pratice trials for 12 years... and I have tested a lot of pieces... but now I don't have time to waste in repairs... Moreover, many french riders I know seems to have problem with this freewheel...Have you feel that the 108.9 is not regular ? (example : you engage 4 pawls... 3 first will have 3° berfore next... and the 4st will have 6°... for me it is a simple demonstration of a bad design of the product...)Even if one works well... I don't want anymore an ACS remake... with lottery rules (luck factor)With the first comments I read... The choice is ENO trials or Tensile...thx for future comments...
