ogre Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hey y'all I got a 108 Freewheel yesterday when I took it out the bag I noticed it still had bits of metal on it. Like cut offs from it being machined. And the anodosing isn't consistent. Is that normal? Or am I to anal for my on good. Also people have mentioned bedding in this freewheel. What's the preferred method? Is there a fast way as I can only fit it on Saturday and have the hull RiDe on Sunday. Thanks tf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yep, that's normal, and you don't need to bother bedding those in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yep, that's normal, and you don't need to bother bedding those in. I've heard people say they bed in their echo freewheels, what exactly does this mean when it comes to freewheels? Like I know what it means with brake pads but, with freewheels does it mean the pawls/springs are better or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 It means any grease in the freewheel must be fully worked in to the mechanics of the freewheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 just ride your bike down a fairly decent hill, that'll do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 To a point - the bedding in process relies on having the mechanism being repeatedly fully engaged, fully disengaged and fully re-engaged too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Echo freewheels are okay from the off. I fitted my new one, and in my eagerness to ride my bike, rode brakeless on it right away because I hadnt bled my brakes. Hasn't skipped a beat from day one.

SamKidney Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 until now, unless you touched wood saying that? Nah, I have complete confidence in it. My last two didnt skip once before they blew up. I know its coming, just a matter of when 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
