Hi Guest, did you know we have a dark style? It might be easier on the eyes at night time! Try it out here: Style Chooser

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Large Filipino" data-source="post: 123590">The China coaster is weird. Where I placed the two washers for a freewheel there was this spring in there. It was all loose and it looked like it just sat there. Anyway you heard the sound it made on that video. This time around it was far far worst. That shreaking was louder and it had some clanging too. I think it was from that spring. Anyway when I converted it I removed that spring and it's quiet now.Maybe tomorrow I'll tear into it again and try the brake pads again without that spring. Frankly I don't see why that's even there... maybe it keeps the pads separated... but it sure didn't work.But tearing it apart would mean having to remove my sprocket again. Naw. I'll just look for a caliper. I kinda like the freewheel especially that I don't need the coaster arm any more.</blockquote>
