davidbarr Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Quick question about my freewheel. It is a Rockman 72 click. The outer ring of the freewheel has a very small side to side movement. This happened on my old tensile freewheel and i did nothing about and it soon broke. Do I need to tighten the lockring or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan97 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 All the freewheels ive used seem to rock slightly from side to side so I dont think so. Saying that my tensile freewheel is on the way out and that rocks quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 i think i have the same problem with my tensile 72 click. when its on the bike and all done up properly.. if you spin the cranks backwards.. does the chain go up and down? like its slackening and then tightening again?

It's normal for the chain to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 My SL wobbles slightly from side to side, i think all freewheels do (that depends on how much movin we are talking about!) Mine moves about 2mm side to side, maybe even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
