Brisa Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Weld it up around the seams when fixed in an engagment point.Or leave it in a bucket of pee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 i've heard of taking the lockring off and filling the internals with superglue while on an engagement point. will this work?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 You just need to do anything to lock the pawls out, really, so just putting anything underneath them that will stop them from disengaging is all you need to do. Obviously welding it's a good thing to do, but you don't have to I wouldn't have thought.Do it ghetto and get little bits of gravel and wedge 'em under the pawls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 probably but use something a bit stronger 'cause the slamming from you pedal hoping etc will make the glue crack up etc weld it maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Use alderite instead of superglue. The easiest way would be opening it up, filling it with alderite then closing it all up. Getting it welded would be better though. Or just buy a fixed cog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 probably but use something a bit stronger 'cause the slamming from you pedal hoping etc will make the glue crack up etc weld it maybe? Not really, because when you kick, it's already in an engaged position so it'd be just like "Bring it on"?And to stop it coasting, all you have to do is make whatever force is holding it in place stronger than the force it takes to make you make the rear hub coast, if you get me? Which wouldn't be too much, so it wouldn't have to be mad strong, to be fair.Ever thought of just selling it on and getting a fixed cog instead though? Probably work out stronger at any rate, no driveshell to snap or pawls to shear or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montybiketrial Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Unscrew the lockring on the freewheel.Poke out all the bearings on the back, leave the cog and bearings in the front.Seam of weld in the back where the locking ring and bearings where.Worked for me for year and half.. and someone else is still using it.

Andy Kay Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 You dont have to lock it together because when you get a rear freewheel it will still work just that when you are freewheeling along the rear freewheel will be coasting but when you bring the pedal back round to hop again the the front freewheel would be freewheeling instead. Unless u just want to lock the acs because you dont trust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Either gkue it as mentioned or take the lockring off carefully on a flat surface, remove spacers from the inside, then replace lockring and hammer till its tight as yer lil sis.
