Egg Fried Rice Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 i was just pedal hopping out side my house a few minuets ago and i heard a loud snap i thourght what the hell was thatis was fine for about 5 mins then the crank locked i went flying forward smash my balls on the stem ! ouch ! i had broken a pin inside the free wheelit caused it to lock up and now i can pedal backwards and go backwards its only cheapy free wheel and was woundering what freewheels you peaple have and what there like ? thnx. jamesIt sounds like your freewheel has exploded. Just get another freewheel. An ACS claw will do you fine. JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I did that to my mates ollldd dicta freewheel.Suddenly went *bang* *crunnncchhh*. Turned into a freecoaster, but I couldn't pedal anyway.Took it back to his, opened the freewheel up... I'd snapped every pawl in half, and raped the ratchet on the freewheel body. Moral of the story: Get a decent freewheel!I hear Tensile's are really good if you're on a budget, if you have the money, get an ENO.
