woozy Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I can't believe that my brand new Try-all 108.9 freewheel is skipping sometimes. About 2-3 times per ride.I'm a little worried about it. Do you have the same problem guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I didn't when I used mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Mine skipped a few times in the first few rides and then bedded in. Its solid as a rock now, although it does seem to have worn a bit quick but will keep buying them.Wouldnt worry about it mate.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_mad Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 How long have you had it? If its still relatively new then maybe let it wear in. I don't suggest you try cleaning it out to speed up the process as they don't have sealed bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woozy Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah it's almost new. I hope that it will stop skipping. Thank you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiTe Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) same for me, i already rode 3 weeks on it and no skipping, works perfectly. anyway dont think you have to worry about it, if skips 1 pawl you still have 2 more left to engage Edited January 7, 2007 by LiTe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 If it's brand new, it probably just needs bedding in.If you're confident enough open it up, and get rid of some of the grease that'll be inside, and use some Finishline oil in it.Opening it should be easy enough, just undo the lockring, and i'm certain that they've got sealed bearings, so you wont get those all over the floor.

Sealed bearings! pah! I think not.They are caged at best, but most definately not sealed. Those freewheel's are not designed to be taken apart either, maybe not the best advice.

will_zooboy! Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Oh god i havst bought one lol, what can i do to stop the skippingclean out grease or.....???Cheers, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 try spray GT85 or WD40 into the freewheel, if there is a bit of clogged up crap in there it just needs to be removed from the "ratchet" part of the freewheel. i wouldnt advise taking these open bearing freewheels in bits as there a nightmare to get back together.Waynio.......................
