Which freewheel Sprocket for TUFF II's?
« on: July 07, 2009, 06:50 PM »
Need to buy a Freewheel sprocket for one set of TUFF's and want to rplace Dicta Freewheel Sprocket on another set

I'm looking at an ACS Claws and Shimano SF-MX30

What do we reckon?

Or any other suggestions that will cost around the £15 mark?

Thx

Gotta disagree James, that used to be the case but shimano are now £20 retail and the quality has definately deteriated, ACS are better and cheaper.

Try-all are OK according to a couple of trials lads that come in the shop, though they did say they skipped evey so often (both had tried them), white industries if you want the absolute best  :daumenhoch:

What about.........?

ACS Main Drive - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=200354632005 (2 pawl - whatever that means)
ACS "FAT" - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=200354632021 (4 pawl - ditto)

If cost is anything to go by, which hopefully represents the quality, then it seems to be the ACS FAT above the Claw, Main Drive and Shimano SF-MX30

Not overly fussed about the No of Teeth as I haven't really got back onto these things yet after leaving my last bmx for a car about 25 years.

All I know is that I want (N)OS, something reasonable  (£15-20) and matching for both bikes cos I'm compulsive obsessive like that!  :idiot2: ;D

What I mean is........ if you intend on riding them (even just round the block) and you are as you said "not fussed about the number of teeth" then depending on your chainwheel size your gearing could be such that you are pedaling like mad getting nowhere or sruggling to pedal just a few cranks up a gentle slope  :-X

But if it's just for a carpet queen then I guess it's whatever you like the look of (all chrome or black/chrome etc.) rather than how it performs  ;)

Ah, gotcha  :-[ Both bikes now have 44T and the one with the Dicta Sproket I believe is a 16T.

The 44T chainring on the Torker has recently been changed from a 40T. I haven't ridden it like this yet but the 40T/16T combination is a bit strenuous to say the least  :shocked:.

Didn't know what to expect as I've put on just a "few" pounds from 25 years ago and of course not as young or fit as back then!

I haven't got a clue where to start in order to buy more intelligently to get the combination that will suit me best  :-\
