FREEWHEEL ADVICE

<< < (4/6) > >>

MartyC:
Try running 3 in 1 oil around the seam of the freewheel while spinning it backwards slowly, you would be surprised how much better it will run.

rodriguez:
GS is right and if you are going to ride your bike all the time a White Industries would be a good investment.

I'd say you'd be fine on a new shimano or suntour.

I'd go for these, suntour made and really clicky if that's your bag.

I got a new 16T chrome shimano cos that's wot I ran BITD.  But it sounds a bit dry out the box so that 3in1 trick I will try out Deffo.
Are freewheels just not made well nowadays. I can't remember ever replacing one BITD?

Once you ride with one you won't want anything else  :daumenhoch:

Virtually maintenance free,  they engage instantly, ride super smooth and lokk and sound the bollox.

So no qualms about using them on old school exotica then? I'm already running Nitto and Knarler Knobby re-issues so I shouldn't really care (but I do!)?  ;)
