How Original Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Anyone know were I can get a totally freewheeling cog for my bike so I don't have to pedal when going backwards (learning how to go backwards and stuff). And it would be so much easier if I didn't have to pedal backwards too. Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Original Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 So when your going backwards, you don't have to pedal backwards, the pedals can hang free as if you're going forwards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 It's called a freecoaster. KHE make one that's 10mm axle and 135mm spacing with a disc mount. Mods have 10mm axle and 116mm spacing, I dunno if they make one in that configuration. Key point here - Freecoasters, when you use them, don't engage like a pawls hub. They seem to ease together. It makes them pretty useless for trials. I also think the shock loading won't be good for them. You can use one on a street bike or BMX where rapid engagement isn't necessary. Other than that, just learn to pedal backwards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james webster Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 right if its on a mtb with gears. you can do it by. 1 removing 3 cogs. you can remove the small ones or the largest ones. if you remove the big ones. you then have to slide the rest over so you have a space at the end of the hub. you then need to find a ss spacer that fits the gap. so you can still get it nice and tight. and set the gears so it pulls the chain over the spacer. so when you are going back. it just spins on the spacer and wont engage the hub. if its not. then you are going to have to remove the chain and learn it that way. or just learn to pedal backwards The Neutral was designed with the help of Aaron Chase to allow the rider to coast backwards without pedaling. It does this by replacing the lower three gears on the cassette body and allowing the chain to coast between the groves of the carefully constructed Delrin piece. This Super Innovative product will have you riding like Chase in no time. link to the site i found it on. http://www.free-coaster.com/html/chase_neutral.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
