The only freewheel I could find in 15t. How long do I have to live? :hsugh:

I'm tempted to send you a claws from work because those AC's suck.

I put one on my BMX wheel and spun it out first time off the gate. Weak

Is there anything decently strong that comes in a fifteen tooth?

Ordered one from danscomp today. I wish I had known about this earlier. Oh well, I have a spare in case something craps out.

not trying to contradict you Tanner, I've just never seen one before. It's good to know there's something better than the AC out there.

Ah, I see what you're saying, Joel.

No, the "down boy" wasn't at a forum member, it was at the BMX side of me getting out.

It was a bad joke. :Squint:

The ACS 15t was the wrong diameter to fit my hub. :run:
Adventure Components AC 888 it is, then. :wtc:

Right away, the AC888 felt like total crap...
I sprayed the crap out of it with triflow. It sounds/feels a lot better now.
I may have increased the lifespan from 15 minutes to a day or so. :ugh:

Get a flip flop BMX hub so you can run a better freewheel... IF you have to stick to the 15t problem.

Tanner: maybe its a Midwest thing...I got your joke...:nuts: :greddy:

UPDATE:
The engagement held up just fine,
however, the shell split in half! I heard a strange noise, pedaled again and the shell came with the chain towards the front of the bike. :ugh: :wtc:
WI time it is, then, anyone have a need for an 18T plaz cog?
