Thanks! I’m just trying to spread the gospel of the freewheel since I have such fun with it. I promise my next videos will be more interesting! (That’s not a high bar to clear.) Since my regular freewheel broke and I’m still waiting for my fat freewheel build I’m jonesing a bit. My new grind rail should keep me busy.
I didn’t want to revive this old thread so I’m posting a response to Nurse Ben’s excellent description of the Nimbus Drift Trike hub here. As described above I was able to put enough pressure on the hub to break it over time. I put about a thousand miles on it but it was probably the climbing that did it in. I’ve been riding with short cranks (114mm) and I wonder if longer cranks would be better or worse. The hub has three pawls and the new 20" that I ordered has a hub with four pawls. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to determine if the four pawl hub is more durable until I build a muni with it.
