new_to_trials Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 It could be your bearings inside the freewheel. Thats all i can think off that could be rouge with it.sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) The guy at your bike shop is absoluty right. But front freewheels are crap mine f**ked up yesterday Eno all the way if your running a FFW though Edited December 27, 2005 by Chris NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 It might be that your freewheel is lose but if the man at the bike shop said it isnt it probably isnt.Front Freewheels float they are supposed to it is the way the bearings are and work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 They cant seem to machine two flat faces in most freewheels, it could be because you have an open bearing freewheel where as a sealed bearing one like an eno for example should not wobble around.

JT! Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 They do tend to say slightly, but you shouldn't have any problems with chain tension becuase of it.So try tightening the lockring. (Which of corse needs to be tightend every day or it'll destroy it's self). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
