Down for the Don ride tomorrow - see you guys/gals @6PM?
Hmmm... I'm going with the freewheel. You might want to be proactive and replace it now. I once had an old freewheel fail on me on a ride. It simply stopped being a freewheel and kept those cranks turning while I was nearly thrown over my handlebars, caught completely unaware (while coasting).
and just curious, is the Don ride a regular occurrence? I'm thinking of getting my first mountain bike (GF 29er--can't decide on the model) this summer, and want to get more acquainted with the Don trail system.
