Message: <blockquote data-quote="Norm" data-source="post: 123684" data-attributes="member: 4319">This morning on my way to work I was pulling out from a stop and trying to peddle rather aggressively when the sprocket started slipping and my peddles were spinning but they weren't turning the wheel. And likewise back-peddling doesn't engage the break. The sprokets just spin without moving the wheel. Boy does that suck! So I plan to put a larger sprocket on and do the free wheel conversion at the same time. I believe the cause of the problem is the combined weight of me and the motor, and the intense force I was putting on a too high gear. That and they don't make them like they used to. The conversion method is pretty clear. I was just wondering if anyone has any special advice before I tear the hub apart.</blockquote>
