Andrew Willis Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Oyrt boys need some help regarding the eno freewheel again, ive managed to sort it but putting the lock ring on has proved hard, we took it to my local bike shop this morn and they said put it on hand tight (which weve done) and then put it back on to the bike and when you pedal it will tighten up.Im not that convinced, opions, help !!!!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 It won't tighten as you pedal. You do it hand tight (making sure its not cross threaded... They love to go in on the piss) Then tighten up with hammer and drift/needlenose pliers/pin spanner/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Whatever you want to tighten it up with, it doesn't matter as long as it fits in the hole and tightens it up. A pair of scissors will do, or the prong off a carving fork. Its not really rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 They meen that the freewheel will tighten up as you ride it, because ffw are designed with oposite threads so they don't come loose from the pedalin motion Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 The lockring and the crank/ENO interface are two completely different things? The lockring has a reverse thread so it 'doesn't come loose when freewheeling' but the crank/ENO interface is a standard thread. We're talking about lockrings here... Arn't we? The crank/ENO interface has nothing to do with it.The lockring won't tighten as you pedal, infact the opposite if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtrials Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 my opinion on this is to add some super glue to the lockring threads before you put it on. tighten it hand tight then use a hammer and something to fit in the hole and tighten it as much as you can, i have serviced mine this way 3 times and it has worked a treat every time no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Make sure you slide the outer teeth all the way over before you tighten it first. Otherwise you're just tightening it a bit which is pretty uselessIf its still coming loose get a new lockring, and if its STILL coming loose get a new body.
