Hi all,

I am wondering is it entirely safe to ride a freewheel screwed on a track hub which is having shorter thread then the freewheel?

It goes on easily and all seams fine but just want to make sure that it's gonna be alright before making some stupid mistake.
Cheers:-)

You will die, but the effect of running a freewheel on a track hub on being a contributory factor to your death is <<<1.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
