*gentlydoesit Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Is it normal for the ffw to move in and out during crank rotation? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Some may say rubbing your testicles on each freewheel tooth at when the clock strikes midnight on the 16th of May solves this issue. p.s yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thank fook. What's the reason? it seems the thread on the crank isnt parallel with the axle. Some may say rubbing your testicles on each freewheel tooth at when the clock strikes midnight on the 16th of May solves this issue. p.s yesI've started early, is that ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny00135 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 does anyone know why this happens? just shit tolerences? Must be, but would be awful if they fixed it.. Still rides the same, still breaks the same.. yet would be more expensive.. Lets keep our freewheels wobbly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 It should be from kicking hard with one foot forward but they seem to do it from factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 it seems the thread on the crank isnt parallel with the axle. Pretty sure thats why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's because the the theoretical axis of the inner track / raceway is slightly out of alignment with the mounting thread (and probably outer track / raceway - OD. alignment). So basically yes - shit tolerances. Although it shouldn't affect the performance as long as the two tracks are round, concentric and do not have too much run out.

Ben John - Hynes Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 If your thread was parallel to the axle I'd be concerned.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Safe to assume I meant the threaded part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
