so i was out riding with my sister today, and i decided to bomb it going downhill on the last hill of the ride home.
i noticed my rear wheel was like rattling and shaking a bit more then im use to, the idea of the rear wheel falling off did com to mind.[i pictured my forks spreading apart in my head]
i was at like 38mph going downhill pedaling. the road is a bit bumpy but prior to putting on the freewheel i never had this issue, and i have the velocity deep-v's on.
prior to this i noticed that the shamino mx30 freewheel i put on also makes that rattle kinda sound when i just play with it moving it between the rim and frame, kind of a slight jiggle, when the road is bumpy the jiggle sound is louder, and when i bombed that hill it like was rattling..
did i install it on wrong? i just simply screwed it on with my hand till i could not turn it anymore.
this is not on the drive side as i ride fixed. so its just sitting on the left side.
or is that just normal??
