I just got my new Langster today and I was just checking it over before going for a ride, and turning the pedals seem pretty stiff. If I put the bike upside down and pedal backwards, the back wheel actually starts turning backwards a bit (on the free wheel hub). Is thi normal? I understand the chain will be somewhat stiffer as there is no derailleur to normalise the chain tension. Also the freewheel cog doesn't spin exactly straght, there is a slight wobble in it, is this something to worry about/fix?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
