SS freewheel- what is better than Shimano?

........love the sound they make. love how solid they feel.
dont understand anyone who rides ss without one.

Because anyone who's serious about riding SS would go for a SS cassette hubs.

and tested, round the block or two / up n down the Hill a bit

total pootle-fest /stealth/ grandad-bike [needs mudguards next]

with excellent kick-accellerate

zero need to go lower at this time [44x22 .. 20 would prolly work but i wanted lowest possible, to work back from]

:: chemo starting tomorrow ::

the 3-pawl does sound different
2 girls on the pavement looked round as i came freewheeling along enjoying the more-clickiness

ha! i been scobled.
the first thing that sprung to mind when i rode a eno for the first time was "wow those white indy guys made a bmx freewheel to the same kind of quality you'd get in a good road hub"

with a cassette hub, you can get your chainline perfect, no matter what bb/crank set up you have too.
but ss/fixed *wheels *kind of ride better due to the drive side not being dished.

its the sound a huge metallic cyborg wasp would make.
i find the sound comforting. makes me smile.

The SS cassette hubs I've had, haven't been dished...

show me what hubs ? i want them.

i kinda like having a slight extra insight into these things

the day i bought this used WI 17t i sold a Fallkniven U4, for about the same money

ok, then i ordered a 22t ring for it, but the freewheel itself cost me no money out of my hand, effectively

and my first time using it, was after totally debuilding/rebuilding it, all parts separated into a dirty-box, cleaned and put in a clean-box

the exciting bit was removing the bearing from the 17t and getting it pressed into the 22t

without knackering it

WI advise against greasing the internals so i used Starrett Tool oil, which i like and happen to have handy

had to add a link back to the chain .. its a good 30 years since the last time i did that ...

You sold your U4 to buy a freewheel? I can live without a freewheel, but not my U4!

The trials freewheels are also really good, you can get more engagement points than the WI too if that's your thing and they're mostly a little cheaper.

heh . i have enough cutty things + i'd made it shinier + i cant take it outside with me in town

i prefer the spinny-thing with added talent :: it can get me to the forest

with 18t - 20t - 22t rings available, actually fairly well suited to my purpose

if id seen one going used, i might easily have jumped on it, despite the health warning that model comes with, thats only about bedding-in

head-turner clickyness is added-bonus, not a requirement

might be fun tho

thought I recognised the name off the BB forum :-)

omigod sussed

just ordered mudguards from wiggle

once those go on should be the end of spanner-time on this

theoretically

show me what hubs ? i want them.

Novatec/Joytech does the F036SBT among others:

I've got a Formula DC-52 on my Pompetamine:

I think the new Cannondale 29ers SS come with similar hubs, they're awesome (lacked to ZTR rims too).

i actually remember seeing those things. the last set of wheels i got built up.
prefered the look of the hope evo trials jobbies. wider flanges. bigger dollar.
toyed with the idea of a flip flop wheelset using a velo solo disc mount cog.
all purpose geared/ss/fixed wheelset.

apologies for hijacking.

hmmm .. id be looking for solid-spindle hubbed wheel next
initially to replace my at-risk QR front,
tho not yet tho both hubs and spokes on this are blue

the stolenbike im replacing had a Campag steel smallflange front, w/track spindle

i believe the rear is with a mate of mine oop north who ive lost touch with [Ed u bassterd]

both were previous candlesticks, seriously and deeply pitted, which i restored to absolute shinyness and rotational excellence, but thats for another thread

sometime

never heard of, nor seen mentioned, any other steel campag hubs, anywhere, ever, tho after a search:

maybe Campagnolo Acciaio ? http://www.velo-retro.com/tline.html

shall i envoke tne Name of Tullio C. to get Campag SS freewheels made

they market manyspeeds, why not singlespeeds, for the trackboys

they have access to good sealed-bearings .. are they all balls still, cant be

and what exactly do Rome's couriers ride about on, surely not britgear like http://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/result.asp?CategoryID=14&Name=GOLDTEC+Hubs+and+Wheels

dat be nice

So where's the cheapest place to get White Industries?
