apparently the freewheels rings will be interchangable and the hubs arent in production yet. |

Jan 31, 2003 1:01 PM | | Yes I'm running the freewheel and have about 200+ miles in various conditions. (all cold, most wet, some freeze dried and dusty)
It was a little tight at first, if you know what I mean, but spins freely after the first ride now. As far as construction it is top notch. Very nice piece of equipment, smooth grabs quickly and is very quiet. Does not seem to suffer the varying chain tension of the acs or shimano bmx freewheels.
Is it worth it? I don't know about longevity, YET! Trying to compare it to $12 freewheels is like comparing a disc brake to a U brake.
A better design is a better design.
If you are converting an old stumpjumper (not that there's anything wrong with that) and trying to save as many $ as possible I'd say no.
But, if you are building your main and trusty spiffy new (insert cool SS frame name)(mines a spot) and want the best made and reliable components, than yes I would go for it.
Ya know, it never really dawned on me that you could just switch out the cog!? Great idea!! |
