trialsquirt Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi all, i had my echo freewheel apart to clean and grease it but a few ball bearings fell out and i can't find them. Does it really matter? Most are still there and its working fine. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I've definitely lost a couple before and still ran it. Didn't mess things up too much, but in theory there could be a little more slop which would cause slightly faster wear and skipping/failure sooner. It might be too late, but tips I have learned are do freewheel work in a box (shoebox works great) and have a magnet there to catch them. If you have another freewheel that is dead you can steal from it, or the balls should be cheap at a hardware store (if you can go to one these days).
