Sometimes when pedaling hard, my pedals will turn, but the wheels will not. It feels as if something is loose, any idea what?
Thanks!

I pedal but the wheels don't turn

The freewheel (or freehub) in the back wheel.<br />
It sounds like the "pawls" are sticking.<br />
You can flush out with say WD40 and then re-oil.

If this doesn't cure it then you may need to replace it.?

Ride hard or ride home alone!
