Ive been having many problems on both my Haro f3 and my DK General lee. My freewheels are breaking on both of them. I usually bike for 2 miles twice a day. i like going fast and for a long time ive been wondering if im using too much torque or just landing too hard off jumps. can ya help me? my freewheel brands are haro 16t and an integral 13t my gear ratios are 44/16 and 33/13 there are no hills around me
how tight do you have your chain? and does your chain match the teeth on your freewheel? i suspect it doesnt. chains as well as freewheels come with varying distances between each tooth, make sure to have them matched or broken freewheels and chains will occur.

Gears on a freewheel?
Either dump the gears or get a proper bike.
