DYAKOV Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The last freewheel I had to replace was a tensile 60 click which I had from near new and was working all fine when I bought it.. In a few months of average riding 3 of the pawls snapped and the outer teeth ring still looks brand new. I guess it might be some bad material they have used for the pawls in a certain period of time. I have not had my freewheel overtightened or too loose after service neither my chain.
