|   acs knocking | chumbly
Feb 17, 2002 8:39 AM | | What's up w/ my freewheel? It's almost new and about 1/2 the time I peddle it knocks. In other words half the time I start out peddeling it knocks. The other half it's nice and silent. I figure it's got to be the fw because the knock corresponds to the chainwheel to fw cog ratio: every peddle rev = 2.6 knocks.
Thanks... |

I've mentioned this before, so I apologize if I sound like a broken record (ooh, that sounds old - my kids don't even know what a "record" is), but the new SunRace freewheel is silent. |
| but where to buy?! | peds
Feb 17, 2002 3:15 PM | | ...my LBS won't bring one in, webcyclery doesn't have them listed. i'm giving an ACS a try after a few problems with the shimano ones.
cheers! |

Feb 17, 2002 7:14 PM | | The freewheel I purchased is a 16T. I ordered an 18T the same day I bought the 16T. That was so many months ago, I completely forgot about it till just now. I guess I should consider myself lucky to have the 16T. |

Feb 17, 2002 4:53 PM | | In the past 6 months I have had 3 Shimano freewheels with 2 of them "knocking" straight out of the box.
I was planning on trying the ACS but am dismayed to here they knock too.
Is that price quote on the new SunRace freewheel correct?
The pics on the ISSA site don't look like $100 bucks.

Feb 17, 2002 6:06 PM | | ...I just coast for half a moment so the pawls are in a different place and it usually is quiet. Mine has knocked almost since the moment I put it on. |

Feb 18, 2002 7:07 AM | | I've been through a dozen claws, three shimaNO, and two dictas.
I've ended up with one 17t and one 16t claw, and one 18t shimaNO that are perfectly silent. And by silent I mean pedaling, and coasting quiet. bringing out the true stealth ability of the SS.
The rest were knockers. They are still good, just really loud
and annoying. So I use them for racing when I don't give a sheet about the noise. |
