freewheel quick ???

<< < (2/3) > >>

d14vd_h:
yeah i thought that at first but as u sa its not really possible
the side facing out it the side with the grooves rather than the smooth side with the branding
that correct

Frosty:
If you have the wheel on your lap and take the freewheel to the hub, you should be turning it clockwise to put it on (same direction as when pedaling). Once on if you turn the teeth of the fw anticlockwise they should "freewheel".

Just thinking whilst writing this, someone else may be able to confirm if fw's run on the left side of the bike would have a different thread (iguess they would need to).

oberonspacefruit:
yes, i thought about the left hand drive thing.

did it say it was for a normal drivetrain on the box?

d14vd_h:
yeah i seem to have alleviated it now
i was tightening the wheel bolts to tight so the freewheel was getting held agains the chain tensioner and therefre loosening it when it turned.
make sense???

my last remaining problem is that theres a slight wiggle in the wheel when it spins but all cones etc are tight and it doesnt move side to side when i move it when its stationary so everything seems tight?

Frosty:
Sounds like the wheel needs truing, or it may be an illusion - ie not the wheel but the tyre mounted to it!
