rosslittledubber Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hey guys, need to purchase a new freewheel as my chain is pretty stiff, been told i cant just replace the chain (is this true..?) so looking at buying a new chain and freewheel... Anybody recommend one at a reasonable price that is nice and loud...? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm a bit confused What do you mean your chain is stiff? You can replace chains on their own no problem, pretty much everyone does every 3 months or so What's your current set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah that made no sense.. You can change a chain no problem with the same freewheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think someone told him to change freewheel/cog with the chain as it´s usual on normal bikes. For trials it´s not necessary though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslittledubber Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah the links are really stiff, free'd them up twice but still goes back to having 1 or 2 stiff links... Yeah somebody told me i have to replace the freewheel aswell as the chain :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Lol. Sounds like classic Cytech advice... Just replace your chain with a KMC Z610HX or a ZH510HX depending on your setup. Having said that, what freewheel are you running? If it's something half decent stick with it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
