TrAsHeR Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah i always get that problem the bottom bracket is bent but is its not too bad its not worth changing the bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials_noir Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 freewheels tend to be slightly off, which makes it tight then loose, Bmx bike do the same thing, if it affects the riding of the bike then change it but donth think their is much to worrie about.hope u get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookyboy Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 My eno is just slightly off, same as you get on the bmx's. Had different bottom brackets and makes no difference. Could just be your freewheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
