If you're pedaling too much you need a smaller rear sprocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The Eno freewheel has sealed bearings, and as they bed in they ooze grease onto the ratchet mechanism. If you take the lockring off your freewheel, you can clean out the pawls and springs and that'll get it working much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you're pedaling too much you need a smaller rear sprocket. Not if you're running the freewheel on the back you don't . A 22T chainring at the front is equivalent to standard 18:15 gearing which is used by pretty much everyone who rides 'proper' trials on stock. Stick with it and you'll get used to it.

AlexxRogers Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Not if you're running the freewheel on the back you don't . Woops... I need to learn to read. Shorter cranks will make your pedaling harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 so basically use the 22t and 18t freewheel as ile get used to it.... Yep. It doesn't sound like you've rode for long so you'll find learning the skills easier. Just gotta get used to it... and the fact it takes a lifetime to ride anywhere!
