Post by: markyp on December 05, 2009, 12:56 PM

is it just me or has anyone else bought a freewheel lately that sounds like a babies rattle?ive had four in the last 10 months from differant sources and differant makes,shimano and suntour and they've all done the same.obviously over time the grease dries out so ive had to melt grease down into the gubbins to stop it making the noise.anyone else had the same?? :(
