Little Yoshi Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 After the comp on sunday my freewheel is playing up. Its very stiff now, so much so you can turn the wheel by peddeling backwards. Now I have taken it off and giving it a blast with some gt85 a good few times to clean the 5hit out of it. Thats helped abit but still really stiff. Tryed getting the lock ring off but it wont budge. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Check the centre ring for cracks. I had a similar experience. Mine went all stiff after riding shipley in le rain. Though it was just crud in the freewheel. Didnt get any better so just ordered a new freewheel along with the cranks I was buying. Took a look at my old one with the intention of using it for spares and it had cracked clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did exactly the same, but it was still working okay as the crack only went half way through, good job i was putting a new one on haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
