I have destroyed another BLB freewheel. Other than White Industries, is anyone else making decent quality 20-22t freewheels?
I'm half tempted to try the "better" BLB freewheel, on paper it looks a bit more robust and is serviceable
The BLB Royal freewheel is a premier product, boasting the highest possible number of engagement points available on the market today, its a must have for single speed aficionados.
• 6 Pawl
• Oil Sealed Cartridge Bearings System
• Serviceable
• 120 Clicks (Points of Engagement)
• 60 inner ratchets
• 3/32 x 1/2 | CroMo Steel
• 1.37x24 tpi nickel plated threads
• 8 Pin removal tool required
Ask Emyr - he knows all there is to know about freewheels... ;-)
I'll deliver a Dicta 20T 1/8th for £10, when would you like it?
Just get a shimano one they're fine and should last longer.
Shimano don't go that big do they? Specs on the other blb one look good but if the quality is off like the other then it may not last.
Shimano do up to 20t I think. No 22t.
Mine is only 3 months old and already sounding like a bag of gravel. The Dicta it replaced actually seems better made.
Thanks for the input everyone. Might take this opportunity to change my gearing slightly, will have a play with the numbers and cost of freewheels/chainrings and see what makes the most sense.
