Hi
I have an old Raleigh Equippe road bike
Today, out of the blue the rear chain / hubs seem to be freewheeling
If I pedal, everything is fine, but if i stop ... then suddenly if I try and pedal there is no drive at all ... it's as if i have to catch up for the non pedalling few seconds
Sometime everything seems to catch up and I can pedal again and move forward ... but at other times I have to shift the gears to try and get some drive.
This only started happening today ... on my way home in the dark
What's going on ?
Is the rear cog set (or whatevert he technical name is) in need of replacement
thanks !
