|   Who makes a "good" 20t freewheel | shift'les'
Sep 13, 2002 5:26 PM | | I have an ACS but it makes such a racket it is distracting when I have to ride a section of road. So does anyone out there know of a good 20t or even 19t? I have a Spot hub. I tend to like my 18t (shimano) & I like my 20t & I just think that a 19t would solve any problems. Since I switch them back & forth quite a bit depending on the terrain. Thanks a bunch for any info. |

Put some in your ACS ... problem solved. Either that or earplugs. HA! |

Sep 14, 2002 7:37 PM | | The idea to do it originally came from Brent at Phil Wood. He suggested mixing their tenacious oil with their grease. I found WD-40 to work great with their grease for the job though. You have to inject the thinned grease into the 4 rear holes in the rear of the freewheel, which means you will have to pull it off the wheel first. |

Of course, you could also just keep pedalling and not coast.... ;)
