matt rushton Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You could use both but it will engage alot slower because one freewheel will have to pickup then the other.But Yeah, if your stuck it will work.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adskivw Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 it will work, but it will take you ages to get anywhere!I had this set up on my mission, very tiring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You only need one freewheel, having two has no advantages what so ever.Buy a fixed screw on chain ring for the cranks or even better the rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You can ride a bike with two freewheels.People say that one engages, then the other, but that isn't the case because one freewheel is always slightly stiffer, so one will remain still, acting like a fixed cog.Getting a freewheel off the back wheel isn't easy. You need the correct freewheel tool (with 4 notches on) and some bolts and washers to hold it in place, and a big spanner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 pah - those look like proper tools to mefor a rear freewheel...take the toothy bit off, clamp the insidey bots of the freewheel in a vice and unscrew it by turning the rim. for a front freewheel (that isn't an eno) take an angle grinder to it and buy a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
