I took a pair of WHEELS bikes out on the Santa Cruise at the weekend, myself on my Expert and the wife on my Pro. The Expert hadn't really done much work since I built it, and twice during the ride after a brief freewheeling interlude there was zero drive when I spun the pedals.... only for half a rotation or so, but it shat me right up both times as it was so unexpected.
Is the freewheel knackered or is something just sticking through a lack of use?

Spray some wd40 in there, should free the stuck pawls, if that fails buy a new one.

If it's really stuck bad soak it in diesel for a few hours, flush with a degreaser and then give it a good spin with 3in1 oil or a silicon lubricant through the gap in the top cover and teeth. You could soak it in 3in1 but that would be a waste really! If it's sticking slightly then just give it a good spin with 3in1 oil or a silicon lubricant through the gap in the top cover and teeth.
