You shouldn't really pack a freewheel with a load of grease - the grease can stop the pawls springing back = freewheel slips = no front teeth.

Better off mixing grease 50/50 with oil and slopping that in.

I'm liking these......A LOT !!!!!! :smitten:
Great price too :daumenhoch:
now can I get a second opinion on these bad boys? ....if we can then I'm totally convinced :4_17_5:

I'd go for a Suntour or an ACS, nice and noisy, if you want a quiet freewheel get a Shimano.

Just as it happens JTsmooth has a few of these on the bay, drop him a PM.

Cheers for the heads up bud :daumenhoch:..but I've aleady got a nice black suntour freewheel..it's chrome I'm after but didn't realise shimano ones were quiet !

I have to admit I do like a nice whirry clicky freewheel though given the choice! ;)
