Daborn Meister Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Righto, i'm having major major problems with my drive and i'm not sure what the problem is, what i need to do etc etc. Basically, when i spin the wheel forward the freewheel moves and so do the pedals, if i hold the pedal and spin the wheel, the freewheel is really stiff and stops. If i turn the pedals backwards, it will freewheel for a while, then it will engage and the wheel will travel backwards?! Also, the bb is to small for the cranks, bash and freewheel, so i haven't been able to secure the pedal fully tight, but tight enough? Do i need a new freewheel, new bb, or is there a way to fix it? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 How tight is your chain? And what do you mean your bb is to small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daborn Meister Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 fairly tight id say, but even when it's loose this happens? And its to short in length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daborn Meister Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 i loosened the chain, but the freewheel was still very tight and something was stopping it from going freely, also, the freewheel moves slightly when it is turned? Help, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daborn Meister Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 what freewheel is it? Some have more ressistance than others V!Z 72 i believe, do you think the fact that it is not done up fully that this could be causing the problem?

Daborn Meister Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 was thinking that might be the problem? Will give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
