HI there,
Complete newbie to the forum so please be gentle
I currently have a old avalance 1.0 (about 6years) which I aquired of Fleebay.
seems to be running prety well, However as I'm new to MTB I may be mistaken here
but I don't seem to get much "freewheel" out of it. what I mean by that is when I stop pedaling it's not long before I need to pedal again. Now being lazy and unfit id like to get more freewheel if possible. anyone any ideas? :roll:
