Pedals keep moving

mcflyss

Hi guys.

Sorry if a lame questiosn but...

If i am holding my rear wheel off the ground and i pedal a couple of times and then let go of the pedals, they continue to move around and around, as if i am still pedalling. If i hold one of them then the rear wheels continues as it should, with the rachet noise. If i then let go of the pedal again it slowly starts to move again.
Now im sure this must be that some thing nears to be greaesed or oiled but can any one point me in the right direction please.

It's normal

Is it? Im sure before that the pedals just stopped and the rear wheels continued.
Well thats ok if it is normal, thought i may have done some thing wrong!

If it's moving slightly I wouldn't worry about it.

Its not just slightly, its as fast as i was pedalling with it and keeps going until you stop it.

It is just freehub drag, what hubs have you got, might have a seal that's not quite in place if they've been serviced recently.

It's fine. Probably just a slightly sticky free-hub. Nothing to worry about!

My Chris King single speed hub does, and I'm not worried at all, because I know it's well lubricated - as long as it has some grease, you should be fine!
