| As a second input to an earlier post about bad freewheels: PITA |
| |
| I still haven't found the exact reasons why a freewheel skips that way but I have narrowed it down to it being mostly of Schwinn specific freewheels. This is Especially true of the ones with the little outside plate as pictured below. |
 |
| One reason could be that Schwinn, being as big as they are in the past, made their stuff a little off standard. This could mean that their freewheels only work smoothly with their chains. And no, this does not mean that the chain and freewheel teeth are of a different size.. (still 1/8th by 3/32) it just means that they’re probably toleranced a little differently from standard Shimano or other chains of today, causing this little skipping action to go on. |
 |
| Again, this problem is solved by just changing the freewheel to any other brand such as Shimano or Suntour. It doesn't even have to be a new freewheel. |
