basher Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 i think i have a problem with my profile. when i gap and put alot of pressure on the drivetrain as you do when gapping something is slipping. i have a welded up freewheel on the cranks acting as a fixed cog. and it feels like when i gap that the freewheel isn't tight on the cranks and is tighting on like when you put a freewheel on for the first time and then kick on the cranks and it tightens on. put ive come to the conclusion that it couldn't be that because the problem got worse over the time of a ride. i thought that it could be the racket ring moving round under the stresses in the hubshell when everything is locked up when you kick on the pedals. anyone else with any ideas or with the same problem. also please dont surgest the racket ring is worn and its just skiping because its not that as i can tell the difference between a skip and something slipping.

T-BAD Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 stripped your cranks maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
python_man Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 get a fixed cog then. you might have cracked the weld with the pressure that you place on the freewheel or it could even be your bottom bracket creaking. take it all apart lube it up and put it back together you never know it might be something easy to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 no im afraid it isn't the cranks or bb. tarty said that the racket ring has stripped the threads in the hubshell if i remember, and eventually the racket ring will rip out of the hubshell. has this happen to anyone else? how will i go about warrenty because i bought the hub secound hand off gaz meridith so will i have no warrenty? also could you get in touch with me gaz please if you read this, my addy is in my profile but you should have me added on msn anyway.
