Freewheel Hub Free Wheeling Forward and Backwards
Assembled my latest adult tricycle June 1; she rode smooth for 95 miles, but during yesterday’s ride, power to the drive axle quit. It slowly happened over a mile; the gears kept going lower (7th would be off the cassette, but 6th would pull the chain back on… now 2nd and beyond is off the cassette and 1st is lined up with 7th). Not sure if that is an axle issue or derailleur adjustment, but the hub between the cassette and axle is no longer engaging. I can peddle in either direction and the chain and sprockets spin, but the tires do not. Because it is new, it should be covered by warranty. Kent International says parts are covered for 6 months, but I have to pay labor and transportation. I can’t afford that, so I need to fix it myself. Any suggestions what to look for?
