Ben John-Hynes Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 WHY do they skip? Is it because the springs/pawls are shit? Or are they just built to a budget/badly made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I've never seen the freewheels skip - I have seen the drive rings spin forward though. A friend of mine has done for his second one since January this way ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 WHY do they skip? Is it because the springs/pawls are shit? Or are they just built to a budget/badly made?Poor quality metals used. I think that's one of the main issues. I believe the standard Deng bearings are made from a steel alloy not intended for bearing use (softer than ball-bearing steel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgzGU! Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I had one on for a while and basically everytime i rode it skipped about 5 times an hour. I am not quite sure why this is but i could get pictures of mine the inside of it if anyone wanted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 The ratchet went on mine. I didn't have any major problems with skipping and clicking but then again it was probably a year ago so i can't remember. I'm sure if it were that bad then i'd of remembered. Once Deng gets bigger hopefully he'll use another factory to produce his parts. One that has quality control preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
