Tuff Coaster to Freewheel conversion question.....
« on: January 17, 2008, 07:43 PM »
......I've got a rear Tuff II that's had the coaster hub converted to freewheel....now it spins and frees fine but when you come to pedal forward it spins about a 5th of a turn before it bites.

Any ideas why?

Is it a dodgy freewheel or is just because of the coaster hub, I do remember coasters sometimes doing this bitd so now it has a freewheel is there any way of stopping it from happening?

Cheers fellas.

That's the slack on the coaster mechanism picking up when you pedal forward.  Worth a strip down to make sure all the parts are in correctly.  I don't think mine does that but I only rolled around the living room on it  :-\.  I will have a check at the weekend and willl let you know  :daumenhoch:.
