thewoomaster Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Well i got a set of Tensile cranks with Tensile bash and a 18th cog. Now when i spin the pedals its not turning the chain or picking it up? When i spin them backwards it does pick up the chain and goes around both cogs? I've checked the BB threads and the crank arms and there all ok. Now the funny bit the bash can be undone while cranks are on but wont do up tight... Have ridden it like 4 times and it just happend Could it be the cog threads or the bb or HELP Edited June 9, 2010 by thewoomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 By the sound of what you've just explained it either sounds like the cog hasn't screwed on enough (I doubt you wouldn't notice that) or the threads are stripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yes there all put on the right way , the cog is on but the bash is lose and screws up not to tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythm_101 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 when you pedal forwards does it engage? if not, it sounds like you've got a rear freewheel ( i beleive that front freewheels work "back to front" to rear ones) if you understand what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 You're going to have to explain it better. I can't really understand much from your first post, try to be more descriptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 You're going to have to explain it better. I can't really understand much from your first post, try to be more descriptive. Word, it sounds like a troll post where you're pretending to not understand that front freewheels mean the chain goes round when you freewheel.

Mark W Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's pretty much impossible to work out what you mean in the first post, but it does sound like you've stripped your crank threads. When you pedal forward, the sprocket would be placed under more load than when you just backpedal it, so it's more likely to slip (not move the chain) when you pedal forward compared to pedalling backwards. Again though, that's pretty much a guess. Is this the new "I accidentally a whole coke bottle"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Right its a freehub hope pro 2, there is no freewheel set up at all, The chain does not go forward it goes backwards though. The bash guard is lose and spins freely around the cranks and little bit were the bb cups showing. The chain still on both cogs and looks normal but it just does not pedal forwards. will make a little vid today. Revolver said" Word, it sounds like a troll post where you're pretending to not understand that front freewheels mean the chain goes round when you freewheel. LOL dude learn to read at no point in the post have i said it has a freewheel on the front and i cant work it out lol troll yourself dude Sorry but i am a little dyslexi Edited June 8, 2010 by thewoomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Stripped ratchet in Pro 2? Or stripped crank/cog threads. Got a mates driveside crank to whack on and see if the problem is still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riight, so you can turn the wheel backwards, but you can't get it to turn forward? Edited June 8, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I also thought it was a freewheel from your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Here are some pic's i took... The pics with the cog and bash looking done up are just pushed on, and were there lose is just after a few spins of crank. I have spun them forward and there's like nothing there it just turns but the cranks and bb turn together like they should work, BUT without the chain. As said backwards it all works fine? Its on a FREEHUB with Tensile 18 thooth cog plus the bash. Also could it be the cog threads are focked or the bash? http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5429/snc00596l.jpg http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/7659/snc00595.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9702/snc00591h.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9702/snc00591h.jpg http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3034/snc00592.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3088/snc00593.jpg Edited June 9, 2010 by thewoomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Well, aside from the fact it's not screwed on, it seems fine. Post a video, this clearly isn't working. Hmm, so when you pedal forwards the sprocket unscrews? Edited June 9, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Theres a lot of metal shards around the bb axle that shouldn't be there. The threads look quite flat and from you saying the cog is "pushed on" instead of screwed then it sounds a lot like you've stripped the threads off the crank/cog. The extra description of the cranks spinning but not the cog also sound like you've stripped the threads. New crank and cog time for you! Well, aside from the fact it's not screwed on, it seems fine. Theres, what looks like, bits of thread laying around the base of the cog here! How is that fine? Also the threads themselves are nice and shiny and flat, missing the point of the thread while the lowest parts have lots of grime and grease in.

thewoomaster Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) So could it be just the cog threads that would have gone, both (crank-cog). Will pull it out today and see as it not mine Also i meant it seems to WORK fine backwards thks Edited June 9, 2010 by thewoomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Crank is ally, threads will be fooked. Sprocket is steel- threads will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Won't be the sprocket threads - it's the cranks that have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gage-mann Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 when a pro 2 hub breaks the chain still goes round, threaded cranks the sprocket stays in the same spot and the cranks move when pre-loading? i found that when i kicked with mine that the rockring started to turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
