JT! Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Have you kept the lockring tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ti-rouX Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 that's two ACS that unscrew themselves.., but would it be stronger with a freewheel on the rear ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have to do with acs's when you run them on the front is apply loktite to the threds. Yes, the freewheel would be stronger on the rear, becuase power is lost through the chain mainly. However, if you locktitle (or weld) the freewheel up, you shouldn't have nay problems. Or you could just buy this, it's an acs that's been welded up for you. It'll last you ages, and you wont have to dick about changing all our drive. :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 if you want to go single speed i have a dmr revolver 4 sale in for sale/wanted :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 get another acs claw and put plenty of locktite on it, make sure you don't run your chain to tight and you will have no problem just check the lock ring every so often. and it shouldn't break again. hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned1 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 DON'Y LOCKTITE IT!i tried locktiting my freewheel with andyh and it all fell apart, it's also super hard to get the ring back on. :sleeping: just keep tightening it up.

Zoo_Monkey Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 i have a t-pro, got it at this years bike show and i blew up the free wheel i 1 hour of geting the bike new, they do unscrew realy eaisy. to prevent this you have 2-3 options 1. get a flat blade screwdriver put the blade in one of the holes that tighten the bearing cover and smack it round with a hammer untill its on supper tight 2. use thread lock (get real industrial strength stuff from a builders merchant) and thraed lock the bearing cover on. as an alternitave to thread lock use supper glue its practicaly the same stuff anyway 3. move the freewheel to the back (this sucks however) i consulted suppercycles and onza about my problem and the above avice is what THEY gave me - i havent blown up another freewheel since so it must work hope that helps:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASETA26ER Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 i would say use rear freewheel as it will last longer and then you dont have to take your cranks off every time you have to change freewheel's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I would probably go for rear freewheel as less stress is put through your freewheel when its on the back. Also, I hear of less freewheels skipping or breaking when they are on the back. Just get a dmr revolver or locked out deore rear hub and an acs claws freewheel (totaling up at about £30) and it should do you fine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
