I've had quiet freewheels in the past. I always thought they were on the verge of failure, but there was never a problem with them. As for pedestrians, use a bell.

One thing that I've noticed when out riding is that when I'm coasting, there is no click-click-click sound. Is this a function of the hub, or the freewheel? And does it indicate a well lubricated hub or freewheel, or will this be a life-long characteristic? It is nice to be able to ride silently, but no longer can I pedal backwards to announce my presence to pedestrians. thanks, robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
