Is it rubbing on your bottom bracket?
no mate its not rubbing at all i run an echo tr isis with 128mm axle so it has plenty of spacing! i reckon i could have a problem with the bearings
thanks

it could be your freewheel, i am currently running a brand new tensile 60 click freewheel and have similar problems! i never over tighten my chain, but i do run it tight enough so there is no slack! running the chain this way means i constantly have resistance and grinding in my freewheel which means my wheel does not spin freely! i would suggest checking the bearings in the freewheel before buying a new chain!

hi guys,
i have recently purchased a brand new tensile 60 click freewheel which cost me just under £40. almost as soon as i had finished running it in, the freewheel became very tight! there seems to be light grinding coming from the freewheel when freewheeling and enough resistance to constantly slow me down! if i loosen my chain it seems to run better, but then i have the problem of a slack chain!
why is this happening?, can it be fixed?, or shall i try and send it back?
also any recommendations on high quality freewheels would be appreciated!
many thanks
sam
