Grunderneuerung von Schraubkranzfreiläufen: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Der knifflige Teil der Aufgabe sind die Sperrklinken. Manchmal ist es möglich die Sperrklinken durch vorsichtiges Drehen desinneren gegen den äußeren Körper in Freilaufrichtung richtig zu setzen. Das funktioniert bei dem hier als Beispiel genutzten SunTour Freilauf, weil die Sperrklinkenfedern die Sperrklinken am Platz halten. Möglicherweise kann man die Sperrklinken in den richtigen Sitz bringen, in dem man den Freilauf mit der großen Seite nach oben hält und den Kern hin- und herbewegt, während man ihn im Uhrzeigersinn dreht.

With other freewheels, reassembly can be more difficult. In days of yore, there were special bobby-pin-like clips to hold the pawls compressed against their springs while you re-assembled the freewheel. These are no longer available.

Instead of the special clips, you can use a rubber band with a piece of thread looped though it. You need to have the freewheel removed from the wheel so you can get at its back when it is assembled. Assemble the pawls to the freewheel core, then wrap the rubber band around them to hold them against their springs. If you can't find a rubber band that is short enough, you might just wrap several turns of thread around. Once the outer part of the freewheel is more-or-less in place, pull the thread and rubber band out through the left side of the freewheel.

After seating the pawls, listen as you slowly rotate the outer body backwards. You should hear "tick, tock, tick, tock" if the ratchet in the outer body has an odd number of teeth and two pawls, so one engages at a time. If more than one pawl engages at the same time, as on many SunTour freewheels, you should hear ticktick, ticktick, ticktick.

At this time, you can drip oil down into the gap between the inner and outer bodies. Thin oil is easier to clean out without disassembling the freewheel. Phil Wood oil is thick enough to quiet the mechanism, though thin enough not to gum up the pawls. (Some newer off-brand Freehubs sound like a swarm of bees when riders are coasting!) Run the oil down the outside next to the bearing race. Avoid getting it onto the threads of the inner body.
