nafan Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I have seen a kooka crankset (freewheel crank) on www.bikedock.com for £36 and when I have some money, I am planning to buy it and an acs claw freewheel, does anyone have any opinions or suggestions about this??? Also; (Just curious) When you are rolling along and you spin the cranks backwards, would the freewheel stay in the same place? (I thought they do but I need reassuring) Cheers lads :P :D :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i'm not sure of the first question, but if you pedal backwards whilst freewheeling the freewheel will continue to freewheel forwards as the rear wheel is still spinning it and driving it forwards, it won't unscrew if thats what you mean . . .

nafan Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 No that's not what I meant, however I am running a rear DMR single speed kit, and when I am not pedalling the rear sprocket doesn't spin... But that's what I thought that if I pedal backwards the freewheel and rear cog would then stay still... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( i dunno what a dmr singlespeed kit does) is that safe? er - if not, the rear cog is fixed so while rolling the front cog will freewheel if you pedal backwards. anyone else noticed how it fascinates bmxers?

nafan Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Yer it's cool a DMR single speed kit is basically a single sprocket which replaces your cassette to go single speed (N) :- It should be cool, I don't see why not...
