Did it function ok before you started to mess with it? If so, and if the cogs are good, just lube it up, reassemble, and go.

My guess it was stored for years and it corroded the bearings where they sat. But I agree with Moe- if it still spins OK, I would not worry about it as the bearings on a freewheel are only there for coasting and carry virtually no load. When peddling the ratchet takes all the force.

Ger482 You may want to have a discussion with pastorbobnlnh who provides freewheel service and is a SME on freewheels.

Reckon it's something to do with when the freewheel was made, each indentation matches a ratchet notch. Something to do with the forging process leaving a softer area maybe? Or just an artifact left after machining post forging?
