dangerous bry Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 As I pedal backwards the freewheel wobbles/moves as if it is not inline it also makes the chain go tight then slacken off slightly, yet when freewheeling forward it seems to stay true. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong? Everything is tight and secure, and freewheel is not cross threaded on the crank. If someone could enlighten me it would be much appreiciated.

But i don't know why i wobbles that much, try to: tighten your crank bolts, or tighten the lockring on the freewheel. hope this helps// william Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogo Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 There are tolerances that dictate how concentric the drive shell is to the main body, everything has a bit of a wiggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
