moza Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 To be honest it realy is not worth the hastle. if you miss bits out it could be very painfull. i have done it before when i rode mods, i had to recut the rachet, it did work but i do much bigger stuff now and i would not trust it. i would get a try-all freewheel. had one since x-mass and its mint. well worth the money.try-all freewheel @ tartybikes.Moza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrOcKeR Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 i'm wanting to run a bash ring also and that may be a problem with the try-all any others?plus i dont want u have to tighten up after about 4 hours use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsyJoel93 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Nope, try-all will be fine with a bash-plate And they don't need tightening all the time either, my mate has ragged the hell out of his one since early December and he hasn't needed to once Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrOcKeR Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 well my acs claw needed tighteing before every ride i got this awful clunkling noise so i dont know about thathmm any other apart from try-all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have had a try all freewheel for 2 months now and its so good, i run it with a bashring and have no problem.Also you wont have to tighten it as the lockring sits against the bashring, so no way at all it can come loose.It is the best £50 ive ever spent.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancair Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I use ENO trials, i think it's one of the best freewheels(maybe the best ). But more it's more expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26inch Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 the monty, tensile and try all freewheels both have lockrings on the bashguard side so that they cannot loosen off. Any would be good from what ive heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 the monty, tensile and try all freewheels both have lockrings on the bashguard side so that they cannot loosen off. Any would be good from what ive heardSorry, but the tensile doesn't, I bought one from tarty and the lock-ring is on the bb shell side, I also bought some echo 6061 cranks at the same time, and it wouldn't fit with the bashring or the spacer in, I had to grind the lip off my crank arm which let the freewheel screw all the way on and tighten against the crank arm.Other than that I can't fault the set-up, the freewheel has never loosened and it tightened against the crank really quick, so I was gapping bigger stuff in no-time.I love the tensile, its really loud and strong, doesn't come loose and engages really often.but maybe the try-all is a better choice, as it has seals on it rather than open bearings.If I were going to buy a new freewheel, I would buy the try-all, because it has seals and more engagment points.Samuel.
