zoo Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) I did this to my Eno freewheel...it made links in my chain stick as if they were still on the cog...like they seized up bent hard to explain..didn't do any harm i don't think but it is better to replace the cog as the chain hasn't got as many links in contact with teeth at a time..im probably talking out of my arse because i am tired.zoo baby!

zIp-AdE-dOo-DaR Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 i know some one who broke a tooth of the eno a bout 6 months ago and it is still in full working order.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 the sprockets just screw on. but because of the fact when you kick it tightens the sprocket on more they are really tight on and can be hard to get off. first of all you can try a chain wip and if it is to tight on try heating the cog to expand the metal and use the chain wip then when it is hot. other wise just give it to a lbs to do. you could use a metal tube on the end of the chain wip as leaverige.

watto Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Wrap and old chain round the cog, then fasten in a vice and try to spin the wheel to undo the cog, easiest way ive found Good Luck . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I was only resting my wheels on two diffferent rocks and I was going to hop to backwheel where my front wheel was, crunch. Right over the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
