Why does my freewheel keep breaking?
Commuting on a Charge Plug since May. First freewheel started dragging and making noise so took it to a local guy who swapped it for another cheap Chinese one. That blew up on the way to work after a couple of weeks. Evans near work put a shimano one on; that's been on for about a month and now it's getting noisy. I've squirted GT85 at it but still feels rough.
Am I doing it wrong?
(Apart from ignoring forum advice to get a Halo clickster)
