Conradm94 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hey I have a 24" and was wondering if it's best to put a freewheel on the rear hub or on the cranks? Also what's a good freewheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 just get a freehub? Any justification for getting a guy to pay for a hub, new spokes and a rebuild for what would be an identical setup but with less engagement? If it works as it is then leave it, if you must you can consider getting different cranks that will allow a front freewheel to be used, the only alterations it will make would be the availability of different gear ratios and saving a bit of weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 i have always thought they are best on the front however this depends on the gear ratio i think the rear mounted would probably be better on the 24 And i agree if it's not broke dont fix it To fit a freehub would be expensive and i see no advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
