trials_mad Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 You could tighten the lockring by using something small and pointy for example: an old spoke or a small screwdriver and insert into one of the little holes on the freewheel and turn until tight. If the tensile is faulty then depending where you got it from, you could get a refund as long as it is still under its warrantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 It's just a plate of metal on a thread, so you can tighten the minx back up. If you can, take the crank off, take the lockring off, clean the threads up then put a dab of threadlock on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 If I had a hat, I would take it off to you. For ultimate value, you needed to fire "Ghostbusters" in there. After all, they're apparently "Who we're gonna call". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 mate, f**k me that's a pawl.I'd say send it back for a replacement or whatever, by the sounds of things you wouldn't want to try and replace the bit's yourself and you'd still have the problem of it loosening.....that totally defeats the purpose of buying one really, kinda like a pimped ACS......
