Free wheel solid axle

Did you have braking concerns or something? I have really enjoyed the freewheel on my bike.

Ohhhh! I was thinking 4 stroke.

Hey PPL,here's a link to a free wheel hub I came across today on Ebay, I read the starting issues, one could always get a pull start...check this free mwheel hub out, it has potential for a lot of applications...Pete

I thought there was only 3 kinds:
fixed gear axle = peddals always turn when bike is moving
freewheel axle = peddals turn wheel when peddaling,but you can coast without peddals moving.
coaster brake axle = same as freewheel except when you go to back peddal it applies the brakes

Ok, so whats you're point, check this out and get back to me with you're thoughts...Pete

Ok, I bought a kit that had this in it. There is a two-fold problem with mine.
1. When putting the freewheel bearing on the axle, it requires a spacer - else it will tighten up against the spokes (which will cause breakage). I don't know what I am going to use as a spacer for mine yet - I think I am going to find a pipe with a large enough inner diameter to clear the axel and cut it to act like a washer.

2. I can't install my old gear casset. The threading on this axle does not match. I am off to Bicas here in town to see if they have one lying around that will fit it.

I have had my kit for a few months now, and haven't fired it up just because of this. blah.


Ok, so, as it turns out, the old hub I switched out had a non-standard casset in it. I just went down to the local bike shop and sifted through a bins and found one that works well for me. as for the spacer, I made some myself from old CDROMs I dremilled out to the size washer i needed. good luck!

ok everyone. i got a freewheel.hd grube setup and the freewheel adapter pongs broke and it spoon the freewheel adapter on the treads, making a freewheel useless, to much tork. and ya cant weld steel to alumium, im out 150 dollors. ---should of got a real bike and leave the lil toys alone, (not rich)
