Ben John-Hynes Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Very possibly. It may just be a broken spring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I would get that fixed sharpish because its very likely to skip when you riding and if that happens when your gapping bad stuff can happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Take ye crank off.....whip the cover off the freewheel and have a look. Only way to find if somethings a-buggery in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordMersey Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sounds like its buggered. Take it to your local bike shop see what they think or just buy a new hub or free wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Don't take it to your LBS. Have a look at it, take note of how you take it apart, and put it back together yourself. You'll never learn otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that its really not worth fixing, you would help your riding if you could save up £100 and get a ProII hub or something on there...

Cheers Aymon Could be that your chain is slipping on your free wheel if its a new bike make sure the chain is set up properly or if an older one the chain may have streched.I found to test your free wheel is to support your bike hold the breakes while on it peddle backwards and then go forward with preasure if it slips or "clunks" its a good chance it is your free wheel but on expieriance try you your chain first. Or your chain tentioner make sure its inline if you have one.just looked at your bike kabuki mono same as me its the chain mail me if you want.

I'll try that, I think i might take some links out of the chain as well, to check its not slipping over the gear thanks Aymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandtrialsrider Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 This somtimes happens with my bike, but it only happens like once or twice every ride which last about 4-6 hours. Should i get a new one or just grease it up? Any tips on getting stiff cranks off (onza muscle ones) Cheers for your help James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a crank extracting tool then obviously use that, if you dont, use a copper hide or rubber mallet Maybe somebody else has a better tip than my heavy handed brute force techniques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
