here’s the problem. The part of the wheel where you put the cassette on doesn’t move any more and is acting like a fixed back wheel. is my wheel ruined or can it be another thing that can be fixed. (i’m doing a IM distance race in 2 weeks and don’t have the money to buy a new one. aaaaaaahhhhh!!!).
thanks for the help!
Generally, you can buy a new freewheel unit. That won’t cost too much. You just need an 8 (or poss 10) mm allen key to remove it.
Many people pay good money to get a fixed wheel!
Thanks i will try it (and otherwise you will see it on the classified pages soon 
).
What brand of disc is it? Sounds as if either your freehub or hub has seized up. I haven’t worked on discs before, but plenty of standard wheels. I’d take it to your local LBS. If you hub just needs adjusting or the freehub just needs lube, it could be pretty cheap ($10-$20). If you need a freehub, it’s more expensive but not THAT much more (hopefully no more than $50). I wouldn’t put a perfectly good disc up for sale yet until you find out it can fixed (no pun intended) for cheap. Good luck!
Again, what make is it? If it’s a Renn, call Frank at Renn right away. He’ll try to take care of you and make sure that you have a disc for the race.
It’s of a unknown brand (some shop from the netherlands put they’re stickers on a cheap disc from taiwan.
thanks, i’ll bring it to my lbs. Hope that they can fix it.
Did you recently change cassettes? I forgot the spacer for my 10sp cassette once and that caused basically the same problem. My shop laughed at me as usual.
haha yes i did the same thing. But i don’t understand why the hub is stuck now . how did they fix it?
Just put the spacer in…I never rode it though.
This is a sign. You are destined to ride a fixed disc wheel for your IM.
You are the chosen one.
maybe it is. i was going to paint it pink and turn it into a single speed (55x11), but didn’t have the money. If they can’t fix it for cheap, i’ll do it.
so what will i need to do?
1 remove FD+RD
2 get a “turn yr 10speed into a 1speed spacer kit” ?? (which one??)
3 get a new chain
4…?
i probably waited to long and ruined it. There’s a gap between the wheel and the thing where you put the cassette on.
