The tools for removing freewheels are irritatingly shallow; you can't always get the freewheel off without also taking apart some of the axle, which also means avoiding losing all the bearings inside. Fortunately this gave us a chance to give it a good clean up and apply some new grease. It also allowed us to discover that the bearing cone was far too tight (it took a lot of effort to undo) which made the movement of the axle pretty rough.

It became apparent that my freewheel needed replacing on my bike after I kept hearing a clonking sound, each time I’d be applying a lot of pressure to the pedals. This was particularly apparent, when pedalling uphill. Almost exactly 1 year ago I bought a second-hand (frankly barely used) Fixie Inc Floater single-speed to use as a commuter (on my tiny 10 minute cycle) and for general cycling around Milton Keynes. A second opinion is always better and for this you can simply visit the local bike shop near you and you can get advice on the type of bike you can buy and the different models you can choose from that suit your needs.

Gather information It is always better to take test rides/bike fittings by putting on the same shoes, apparel which you normally prefer for rides. There can be difference in fit when you are wearing a pair of jeans than when you are in cycling shorts. features You can simply reject even a perfect model, if you have to struggle stretching to get to the handlebar or you feel clumsy with the shifter that you may not have operated before. Test the bike wearing the clothing you are going to use while cycling If you ride around on a single speed bike or a BMX, then once every one to two years you need to replace the freewheel cog.

Step 3: With the freewheel removed, add plenty of quality grease and make sure you apply it evenly by using your hands to ensure all threads are fully greased. We also unsurprisingly had a lot of trouble taking the freewheel off. We fixed the removal tool in a vice and rotated the wheel on top of it to get it out. Even so it took quite a lot of effort, you'd never manage with just a spanner.Therefore, this is one of those scenarios where it’s worth spending money now, to save money in the long term. Before you start hunting for a new bike, make sure you spend some doing research to avoid problems in future. You need plan right and buy right so do not rush into hasty decisions.

Step 6: Refit the freewheel remover in to position and use a spanner to tighten the freewheel in place. Note that you don’t need to use excessive amounts of force at this stage as the freewheel will tighten as you pedal.
