Hi!
I recently got a cheapie old mountain bike. A few minor thing had to be done to it to get it into a good usable condition. The old thing thats still up with it is a slight wobble in the rear freewheel. It makes the rear gears slip a bit.
I don't know much about freewheel mechanisms... is there user serviceable bearing in then or is replacing that the only option?
i've uploaded a video to show the extent of the wobbling

So if anyone has suggestions about repairing it or even what the actual problem is that'd be great
Thanks!
