Mavic Ellipse

yeah, not too bad in my case as I only ride SS so as long as I have one good side it's all good. Cheers for the link, I'll get one ordered.

Whoops least you have the threads on other side still.

These fit and are decent quality: http://bricklanebikes.co.uk/posts/393

Pony, I'm have the exact same problem you had. I just found out that my shimano freewheel won't fit on my Mavic Ellipses properly! Ahhhh! =(

It looks like you've been finding the proper kind of freewheels to use on the Ellipses. What's the best fitting freewheel that you've found to run on them?

Oh and by the way, how do you like the Ellipses? Pretty durable for street use? I wanted something solid for the track and road, so I hope I made a good choice.

Thank you for your time.

I have a spare rear ellipse hub with fixed/fixed threading still good. I also have 20 brand new bladed spokes to go with it. PM me if you are interested.

BLB Royal freewheel as quoted above is the only one I found - there may be others but the quality is good and I will stick with them.

No probs so far from a years commuting on them apart from a couple of loose spokes so keep an eye on them. Very stiff wheels.

Awesome, thank you so much man. If it wasn't for your post I wouldn't of found the right freewheel.

Have a good one and thanks again.

The BLB Royal freewheel comes in 30, 60, and 120 clicks?

Whats the difference between them? I was going to pick the 16 tooth if that matters, making my set up a 48x16.

Thanks.

The higher the number the faster engagement when you start to pedal.

I'm running a 48x17.

Thank you so much for answering all my questions. I really do appreciate it.

Pony, I'm having a real hard time finding a website that will ship the BLB Royal freewheel to the USA. Ahh! Could you maybe point me in the right direction? Looking for a 16-tooth 120 click if possible, but will also take 60 click.

Thank you for your time. :)

Not sure if they ship to USA but call and ask nicely they might.

Hi, similar issue - I am building a new single speed and have a Mavic Ellipse for the rear wheel. The rear hub on the Mavic is a fixed / fixed ( despite saying flip flop) however I want to fit my free wheel. The freewheel I have screws onto the Mavic and lines up against the chain nicely.

My only concern is that the width of thread available on the Mavic is less than the freewheel - in other words the freewheel only screws onto the Mavic about 4.5 turns before tightening and is held on by about 75% of the available thread on the freewheel.

It is held nice and tight against the wheel and I see on google that you can run a freewheel with a ellipse.

Does anyone think this could be risky or shear off the thread as I am not fully using all the thread available on the freewheel when tightening?

Many Thanks
