Freewheels

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if you can really notice a difference when having more engagements on a freewheel? At the moment I have the Try-All freewheel with 30 something engagements and I'm just wondering if I should bother upgrading to the Try-All with 108 engagements? Any help appreciated,

Richard

Yes you notice!

I remeber going from a Deore to a hope Xc - Was amazing

Then back to a deore ( I wanted to die and so did the hub, literally brand new and broken within a week)

Then back to a hope XC - amazing

Then to a king

I noticed the difference everytime.

Also I realise that I'm talking about hubs and not Front Freewheels, but it's the same principle.

I went from and ACS Claw to a tensile and really noticed the difference.

Please don't buy a Try-All, my mate had one and it skipped more than skippy the bush kangaroo. he has and eno now, it has never skipped.

Neither has my Tensile, and that was a third of the price.

Personally I'd say you notice the difference more going back to less engagments rather than going to more engagments. I'd recomend a 72ep eno aswell if you have to have a front freewheel but if its possible go for a king rear hub.

That's what i found. It's so annoying when you do ride a bike with less engagement. It just scares you silly.

Ah that explains it then.

So how was it hanging?

While ago so I can’t remember, left an comfy a the mo though....

I have a tensile but i want a rear freewheel instead due to how many trousers its chewed up but would i noticed a difference if i got a profile on the rear?

Thanks

Yes you wouldn’t rip your trousers so much, engagement wise it will feel like you have 72.

But it's actually 48. But i know you know that, you were stating it because it feels alright when riding. So i just thought i were also state 48. Anyway i doubt that makes sense.

I know its 48 but as its on the back you need to multiply the number of engagements by the gear ratio, as you have a mod it guessing it 18-12.

So that’s 18 divided by 12 giving 1.5 meaning that for every revolution of the cranks the back wheel will spin on and a half times. So the freewheel will engage 1.5 times quicker than one on the front, and 1.5 multiplied by 48 giving 72 (Y)

White Industry's do an amazing one.....but i'm sure the eno is better for trials.

I used to think that double disc monty's had two front discs. Before I rode trials and understood why they had stupidly long stems, that was back when I dreamed of getting a T-Pro and putting a jump stem on it.

Feel free to rip me, go on. I'm braced and ready.
