Will Arnold Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) before you start welding, make sure it is in a fully engaged state, then just weld around where the 'coggy bit' meets the threaded part (on the back of it). just remember that it doesent have to even be that strong, as its only going to be stopping the freewheel turning backwards...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Make sure that the freewheel is in perfect working order and doesnt need serviced (put new grease in before you weld it up if needed) and if you like, i could go and take my crank arm off my bike and take a pic of what i have done to weld it?

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 As asked: Hope them pics help of where to put the weld. Just use a MIG welder, dont over do the weld though, and dont catch the sprocket part so that it doesnt spin :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 so do you need to weld inside at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 so do you need to weld inside at all? What do you mean? All i done was take the crank off the bike, put it in a vice so that the freewheel was facing up-wards and then just put 4 little lumps of weld onto where i have put them. Just make sure that the weld lumps are touching, both, the bit where the freewheel tool goes on (dark black part) and the lockring (sliver) and then it will never come loose again :D Oh and make sure that the lockring it at the perfect tightness before welding :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 no i mean welding it so it doesnt ever freewheel sorry if i confussed you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 no i mean welding it so it doesnt ever freewheel sorry if i confussed you lol Ahhhhh so your trying to lock it out then? lol, i didnt understand (sowwie) Im not too sure on how to weld it like that, but maybe take the lockring off, then degrease it so you can weld on it inside. then ingage it so that the freewheel is locked in, (maybe wanna hold it engaged with some plyers or summit) then id say just fill the whole thing with weld lol, or maybe just fill the gaps inside the freewheel so that it doesnt spin any more? lol i dunno lol. Sorry for the confusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Arnold Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 or, do what i said up there u spoon!?! :blink: (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Will's right, pretty much. Also, a bit less of the shit MSN-type convos would be good (Y) Just be careful with it, 'cos it's still the pawls holding you in place, so if you overly heat them or the driveshell it could warp. ACS's have enough trouble not being complete dogwank as it is, so you cooking them can't help :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Like Mark said, take it easy and let it cool after doing a small section. Have it so the freewheel is engaged as best as it can before welding as the pawls will be doing a good bit of the holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 so dont u need to wled inside at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 if i were you, i wouldnt weld 'blue to purple' but weld 'blue to the equivalent purple on the back side (Y) ' that way theres no chance of it back pedalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 arnt i able to just weld the inside mechanism up? or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 arnt i able to just weld the inside mechanism up? or not? yer, you could just take the lockring and the metal spacers off, then just weld the pawls into the locked position. anyways just give it a go!

Brisa Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Welds pretty strong stuff Will, I bet the World will end before that would freewheel again! Edited November 8, 2005 by Brisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
