I bought a Shimano 'Megarange' freewheel which seems to be developing a
problem: If I turn the bike upside down, change into highest gear and
set the wheel spinning fast, when I let go of the pedals they spin
round. If you hold the pedals still with a finger the force is
noticeable.
It's not a critical problem yet as I can still freewheel along. Is
this a common problem, is there a specific cause (e.g. lack of TLC!)
and is there a cure?
I've taken freewheels off but never disassembled one so that prospect
is a bit daunting!
TIA
