onzatpro09 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Recently bought an onza genesis (stock) and the freewheel has died. Out casually riding (nothing too extreme) and you could almost hear it go bhleh and die. What's happened is the outer sprockety bit has come completely loose from the inner bit. Just posting to ask if it's anything fixable or if I should just buy a new freewheel, 108 click or something instead of 60 but I'm 14 and rather skint though. Has this happened to any of you? The bikes almost brand new and im sure this isn't a part of the bedding-in process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 It'll be the lockring that worked loose. If you take the crank arm off the bike and look into the freewheel, you should see your pawls and springs have worked loose IF your lucky. They may have fallen out. Its a tensile 60 that comes on the genesis full build and the spares are available to buy separately, so you can rebuild the freewheel relatively cheaply compared to buying a full new unit.

Blake Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hopefully the internals won't have fallen out as those things are packed with greace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered my freewheel internals on my 60 click flying eveeeeerywhere. Edited April 3, 2013 by williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 My 60 click has been awsome. But you get bad ones in all the freewheels avalable. Pick two options really Fix that freewheel, DIY or send it off to tartys of a bikr shop. Or splash out many a pound on a new one My 60 click has been awsome.
