How do I get my back sprocket to catch on my BMX bike when I pedal?
I haven't ridden my BMX bike for a couple years now, and when I tried recently, the back sprocket didn't consistently work. Sometimes when I pedal it locks and I can actually get the bike going, other times the sprocket goes completely loose and doesn't do anything, leaving me pedaling to no avail. Is there a way I can repair this or am I going to have to buy a new sprocket/wheel?
You need a new freewheel.. the sprocket. The reason this is happening is that the guts of the freewheel are seized and ready to fail.
If you want to make it work, you can try this...
1) Lay the bike on it's side with the chain side up. Try to get the rear wheel as level as possible.
2) Slowly spin the rear wheel forward. While spinning,douse the freewheel heavily with WD 40. Eventually- within a minute or so- you should hear the freewheel start to 'click'.
3) Using a good grade of oil (not 3 in 1) run some oil into the workings. You should see a tiny gap between the sprocket and freewheel body... just add several drops.
This should get the thing working for awhile, until you can get to a shop to replace it. Note that depending on "how bad" the guts are, you might not get any use at all out of it.
