I have an 80's Nishiki road bike converted to fixed by someone else.
I recently added a freewheel to the other side of the Suzue Basic
hub. I noticed something odd though: if I spin the wheel forward so
that it's "freewheeling" (i.e. pedals/chain stay put) the tension on
the chain still varies. Does this mean something bad is up with my
hub, like the axle or spindle is bent? I would expect to see the
tension vary if the chain was moving, but if it's sitting still....
