Someone told me that the freewheel ratchet could be stuck under the load and as well as the bottom bracket. They say it can be fixed by lubing the freewheel. What do you think?
If the freewheel pawls are stuck, the wheel will still be able to move forward. Stuck pawls just turn the freewheel into a fixed gear.
