odyssey clutch: clicking noise when I stop pedaling

(1/8) > >>

Cmb4130:
Anyone know how to make this stop?

ediotism:
can you describe it more? is it one single click everytime you stop pedalling (and the wheel is rolling)? is it a constant 'ping, ping, ping'?

how long have you ridden the coaster, and when have you last cleaned out the clutch? (i mean the actual engagment mechanism)

Cmb4130:
Single click every time I stop pedaling but the wheel is still rolling.

Sounds awful.

ediotism:
that suggests the noise comes from something disengaging. if the clutch mechanism is 'sticky' this may happen, which just requires a cleaning

however, more things happen when you stop pedalling - chain loses the tension from your weight, rear cog no longer 'pulling' the hub to spin the wheel, etc. these can all make a noise potentially.

if you take off your chain and turn the rear cog by hand, can you replicate the noise? did any of your mates put a tiny steel ball bearing in your frame just to fuck with you? how worn is the sprocket/chain/rear cog? there're many things possible, need some narrowing down to the hub.

what does the noise sound like? a ping? a twang? click? is there a crack on the hub body?

Cmb4130:
Freecoaster is new
Chain is new
Sprocket is brand new

The sound is coming from inside he hub.

I know spraying WD-40 inside the hub will destroy it. But is there an actual lubricant I can spray into the slack adjusting hole to grease the hell out of the hub to get the clutch to stop sticking?
