I recently built up my new 2011 Neon Bow stock frame. I absolutley love it. A couple days ago i got home from school late and relized that i was going to be late for work. I knew that the only way to get to work in time was to ride the only bike I have right now... the Neon Bow.... I know trials bikes are very slow but i didnt have another option... no car and no efficient bus routes...
So as im pedaling as fast as i can and I get my pants stuck in my freewheel (my bad for wearing loose work pants near a freewheel)i was then hurled over my handlebars and thrown into a bush... with my bike because i was stuck to my bike 20 minutes later and with some help from some random people walking by i was finaly free from my freewheel (no pun intended) although it would have been cool to tell my fellow co-workers that i was attacked by a tiger on the way to work it just wasnt worth ripping the pants... therefore i had to carefully get the pants out of the freewheel...
So once im finaly out i decide to begin riding again, only to realize that there was something rubbing.... after determining that it wasnt my brakes and my rear tire wasnt misaligned (rubing the frame) i found this... (see picture) my White industries ENO freewheel had come apart and the sproket part of it is jamed against the BB yoke of my frame :wtf: now, i know these freehwheels are "Rebuildable" and it is relatively easy to find parts for it but i dont know if its worth it, since the picture was taken on my $hity phone you cant see that much detail, but upon a closer look you can see that there is quite a bit of damage
Some people are telling me to just rebuild it and some people are telling me that its not worth it and its best to get a new freewheel...
I think im going to save myself the trouble of trying to track down parts and im going to get a new freewheel...
Im stuck between the Echo SL 108, the Echo SL Ti 108 (which would cost more but not as bad as i thought it would... same price as my white ind eno) or the Tryall/Trialtech/Rockman 108 freewheels (which all seem to be the same design but badged by different companies)
I have some people telling me that they do not trust the Echo Freewheels and some people telling me to stay away from the 108 Try/Trial/Rock 108 freewheels...
I am currently leaning towards the Echo SL Ti freewheel... whats your opinion?
