liam n Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 how do i fit the echo sl 108 freewheel without a freewheel tool or do i need one ? i was thinking it would be fine if free wheel was tight as possible without tool as the freewheel tightens when the bike is ridden ?

Matt Vandart Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 That is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 With some grease again, you don't need a tool to put it on but make sure you get one just incase you need to service it, just screw it on by hand as tight as you can then ride up a hill a few times or something like that.

Sponge Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Just make sure to apply plenty of copper antiseize grease on the threads of both the crankarm and the freewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yea, apply grease to threads, screw it on, once its on hold both brakes then stamp down on the crank so the bike doesnt move, should tighten it enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Don't forget to grease the threads, just in case you didn't catch it the first, second or third time round... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease it if you've got grease to hand, but if not, dont bother. Havent greased any of my freewheels whilst ive been riding and have never had any problems with either maintaining the freewheel/cranks or removal of the freewheel. Cheers, Josh.

AndyZoo Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Im putting a Echo TR one onto my crank arm so would i be able to put chain oil the cheap wilkinsons one on the threads of the TR and do this pedaling thingy to tighten it up Edited December 1, 2010 by AndyZoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it was worth getting grease to help put it on. It makes getting them off a lot easier, and if the threads on your cranks aren't great it sort of gives them a helping hand in not deciding to fly off...

Oil, possibly as a last resort though. On 12/1/2010 at 7:47 PM, Kieran Morrison said: Dude, what is up with your DP?! Sorry, off topic, but LOL!
