Alex.loves.boys Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi guys I've had some of the old echo silver mod cranks for a while now and i finally got the money together to buy a tensile freewheel. anyway freewheels are ment to screw on right? well the thread on my crank seems to be ALLOT bigger than the thread on the cranks, I bought these crank second hand and thought perhaps its because theres ment to be a spacer of some kind. but i don't have it and neither does the guy i bought them off. a few people seem to think i have bought the rear tensile freewheel but tarty says they only have front so how would this be possible? am i missing something on the crank? or is it to do with the freewheel. any help would be appreciated. thaanks alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Your running a bash ring? (just a guess but there might be extra thread for a bash ring) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Old echo cranks had a removeable thread thing for screwing stuff onto. Obviously you dont have this thread, and therefore the freewheel is too large. I doubt you can still get the replacement thread so you may be pretty screwed.

Hobnobs Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 If that is the problem, then maybe give selectbikes a call, as they may have one lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I think BT also do a similar product, so maybe try and give them an e-mail/call or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 basicly, to explain alex a bit better.the diameter of the thread on his cranks is some 3-4mm smaller than the diameter of the thread on his freewheel. his free wheel has FF on it, so its clearly a front application.the thread on the cracks is also of a much sharper and deeper pitch than the freewheel, so it would appear the previous owner has removed the extra thread ring you mention along with his last freewheel!bugger.
