Hi, I need to start this thread by stating I am the most untechnical person in the world!  :idiot2:

So, took the Wilson out for its first ride today. Runs sweet but noticed the crank slips a little. Can anyone explain what causes this and what I need to do to sort it?

Thanks Cheese   :uglystupid2:

freewheel not nipped right to the hub (if just been fitted) or fooked freewheel

This has been on there for 29 years so guess it fooked!  :-\

Guess I better get looking for a new one! Gutted! :(

I run a set of Arayas, so will a standard 1/8" fit, also whats best 16,17 or 18T ????

depends on your front cog and what you want to use it for 44/16 is the most common old school gearing.

Also check your crank arms ain't loose. You'll probably need a special tool to get the freewheel off so might just be worth taking it to a bike shop to get it checked out.
