small inacuracies in the fitment of the crank and freewheel cause this
i some occasions bent axles on either the hub or cranks also make this happen
its realy common on square taper bottom brackets

the best stuff to use is isopropanol alcohol.
you can get this from any car part shop, its labeled as electrical contact cleaner.
it leaves no residue (oil) at all. ( meths car brake cleaner does have some oil in it)
clean pads with the same stuff. and use some wet and dry on the pads too.
to check if your pads are properly fubar
put the wet and dry on a flat surface and gently rub the top surface of the pads on the wet and dry
leave the pads a few minuites if you se the dry dusty surface go dark it indicates there is still some dampness in the pad material
if you see this buy new pads they are fubar.
finaly rub the disc with wet and dry on the braking surface to allow the disc to gring a the pad flat and even to the disc.
if this all fails get the bike to a good bike shop.
i coundn't be arsed checking how many clicks it was i know its around 68 ish everyone knew which one i was on about
i second the fact that the pawls are cheaply forged for tensiles i see hope paws daily and they just look 5 times better quality
has anyone ever thought of grinding a sharp edge onto tensile pawls to meke them work better, while you take the greace out befor the 1st ride?
i found it if you click view new content
then look left and at the bottom of the option list there is filter by forum
you can check the ones you are intrested in
it just took 6 pages down to 3 pages by just ridding of the classifieds
i have had 96 click tensiles go just as quick two of them also. i wouldn't be quick recomend this free wheel untill i hear there is a revised version on the market.
i now run the tensile 68 click and it is spot on never missed a beat, i really trust them with my life.
i just wanna see whats going on.
but everytime i check new topics its just completly full of for sale adds
is there a way that i can stop the for sale section coming up on new topics
