weebryan Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) My freewheel skip and it sounded alot quieter and never thought of anything of it until i counted the engagements, so i'm guessing its running on 3 pawls instead of 9Is there a way to get the lock ring off like enos and if so what way are the threads going to service it, i have had it 1 year now and my old eno is not great either( been seviced loads of times 2 years running )which i will use the now to keep me goingAny ideas?

rudirudirudirudirudi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 i think the new ones are welded.... not sure if the old ones are. thats all the help i can give you im afraid. have a look and see if its welded to be honest i have no idea why they bother welding it when its against the crank arm anyway just seems silly.

Walleee Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 i had one of the first ones and it wasn't welded, but i don't think they are made to be serviceable, certainley not as easily servicable as an eno anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebryan Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I took my freewheel into work today and managed to get the lock ring off and it was running on 1 pawl so i was lucky that 1 didnt skip or break. The problem was the little leaf springs came out there seats so all good now. The only problem is they run on ball bearing so i'm going to have to get a hold of some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze_ Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah that's what happens to TryAlls. Just when reassembling it don't put grease in it. It will make the springs stick and won't work properly. Just clean it out and put some oil...maybe a lot of oil. And of course clean it up well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 alot of oil will just collect dust and end up making things stick again, just use a drop on the moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
