Tighten your lockring!!
I take off at a stop light today, and my pedal drops down as if the cog was sliding on the hub. At the next light, when i was slowing down, my pedals over-rotated again, now in the other direction. I freaked out. First time I thought it was a skid, but the second time I knew it wasn't.
I was afraid my threads were stripped. Luckily, they weren't. My lockring had loosened up, and the cog was screwing and unscrewing against it. The moral of the story: check your lockring frequently and make sure it's TIGHT. Especially if you ride brakeless. |
You mean on a reverse threaded lockring?

what other kind is there? :)
if you use a same-threaded lockring you better run some sturdy brakes. |
