lawrence osborn Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello people,I have noticed when i push my bke when walking the cranks spin round with the freewheel but when riding it seems fine , so i would like to know how i would get my cranks to stop gong round when i' walking as it is annoying as they always catch me, they are the echo cnc with a pretty new tensile freewheel if that helps, how would i stop them spining?Cheers lawrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) I'm guessing your chain is pretty tight? That normally stops them from spinning quickly. Loosen off your chain slightly and it might sort it.\/ That too. Edited January 12, 2007 by Fat Pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 More friction in the freewheel than the BB, thats what causes it. A new freewheel usually has a bit more friction than an old one, and a decent freewheel like the tensile has much more than a crap one like a dicta.
